The backyard is in the sun from sunrise till around 4ish when the house starts to block it for the evening.
Do you have irrigation back there?
No irrigation takes Bermuda seed off the table IMO.

Just spray the frick out of it with something that has atrazine (like that Image), and fertilize and keep it watered. By the end of the summer you will have something decent.

Altrazine is great for a lot of southern weeds, but is one of few products harmful to Bermuda. Image makes a few different products with different active ingredients.
The one posted earlier (for Southern Lawns) contains 2, 4-D not Altrazine.

Don’t put down a pre em. Get a bottle of Celsius and spray all the broadleaf/grassy weeds. Follow up in 2 weeks. Spray all grassy weeds that didn’t die with glyphosate. Aerate and top dress with a 60/40 mix of Mason sand and compost. Seed with an improved Bermuda seed like La Prima or Royal TXD. Lightly rake seed in. Water every morning for 2 weeks.
Depending on the size of your lawn all of that can be done for under $500.

Others please chime in if I'm wrong about the fence post. It looks like dirt eroded, or someone did a shitty fencing job.
It's not eroded. Just some people pour way too much concrete. If you're going to fill the entire hole with concrete then you need to angle the top so rain water won't sit on the concrete. This is why you see so many post break right at the concrete during storms. The water sits on the raised part and rots the post. You either pour concrete and leave 4-6 inches and fill with dirt so the water can absorb, or you "pyramid"/angle the concrete up on the post....which is a lot more work.

Meh, it’s close enough to grass. Just let it be. It’s short and green.

Know of any local companies that will premix sand and compost and deliver?

Hit it with roundup and re-sod?

I don't. I'm in DFW. I haven't been in BR in 7 years.

You could go about this the easy way or the fun, lawn geek way. Honestly, I'd just kill it, till it, sod it, then put down a fertilizer that's high in phosphorus like a 15-15-15. Ewing has plenty to choose from. Make sure you keep it watered for the first couple of weeks, twice a day for several minutes at a time if you can. Then just put down a slow release fertilizer once or twice a year and make sure you don't scalp it with the mower.

Start with drainage. Have it evaluated then fixed with regrading, swales or buried drains. Then get to work on the lawn.

My old man nuked his yard to get rid of burr weed. He didn't put out a pre emergent, so later he had a nice green carpet of burr weed
