2 things- I know DFW area gets some crazy winter weather ( see 2 Super Bowls ago) so unless your going to put Desert King in a pot, it may not be worth it. It's a first crop fig only. That is unless you plan on covering it in winter in ground once it's mature.
Also, there are at least 4 or more Paradiso named figs so you may have to be more specific. I wouldn't bother with Joe Morle's Paradiso ( very similatr to a Brunswick).
