A quick search shows many Okinawan Karate schools in the DFW area. How legit they are, and how seriously they train in terms of full resistance and full speed is not easy to determine from a website.

I would want to know more about this school and this instructor if it were me. He claims lineage from multiple high level instructors in three different systems of Karate, so who knows what he is actually teaching or what his credentials to teach are: Genjikai Karate and Tai Chi

In addition, there appears to be a legit Shorin Ryu school there, but it is impossible to tell how hard they train without asking. Shorin Ryu is a beautiful style, and has the ability to be quite effective if practiced properly. Kaizen Martial Arts

The guys from "Karate Culture" are Shorin Ryu practitioners, so if you could find someone affiliated with them, that might work well:
Global Network
karate culture - YouTube

You've switched your mind on the style like 5 times in the past week...it matters a lot less than you think. Just find a school you enjoy, of any style, and stick with it. Otherwise you'll lose out on a couple months training just debating where to go.

If your anywhere near Athens, TX, there’s the Athens karate school which teaches Shorin Ryu. I don’t know anything about it other than Tom Araya is a nidan there.

If you don’t know the name Tom Araya, he’s the lead singer and bassist in the thrash metal band Slayer. That should speak for itself
