I live in Houston, Texas and my yard is composed of maybe 50% St.

just continue to pick weeds

There's a couple of guys on Houston Craigslist that advertise St Augustine
sod for ~$120 per pallet. A pallet covers (according to them) 450 sq ft. The
price includes delivery and installation.

Here's an ad from just today (16 May)

I have no personal knowledge of these folks, I've just seen their ad. Maybe
references?
