If you have full sun, wax myrtle grows like wildfire in central Al and can get thick but can also get Out of control.
Texas sun can cook these things while they’re young. If you can get them through a whole summer in the ground without looking like Charlie Brown’s Xmas tree, then they’ll take off the next year.

Sweet viburnums
I made a post about these several years back with before and after photos at my old house. They were planted about 2-3 ft high and were spiking past 7-8 ft tall within a year. It was on shady side of house too. They worked great for why I wanted them. Probably great option for you too as others have stated.
We had a landscape crew that would maintain them. We kept them around 6ft or so. But they definitely had more than 8ft + potential.
