Anyone have a comprehensive list of edible S. Texas plants?

I live in South Texas, more specifically the hardiness zone 9b, and while I've found quite a few plants through identification sites and what not, it is a long and grueling process to find new plants every day, take pictures and post them to r/whatsthisplant in groups of three at a time. If there is anyone out there who has a list of plants in my hardiness zone, I would be very appreciative.

What kinds of places do you look for these? I have a corn field that I walk the perimeter of occasionally and that's where I find everything.

I have most of those weeds growing on my property. They start during winter and continue on through spring, dying when the sun gets too hot.

Doubt I'll see too many of these growing in my yard. Thanks for the list, I'll be sure to look out for these.

Also, are there any I should try to feed only in moderation? I've heard about plants with high concentrations of oxalic acid inhibiting calcium absorption.
