Long time hobbyist but been a while since I've been to Dallas area, and in the past there were some great agencies I've used, but looking at the boards and P411 there seems to be nothing much going on, am I missing something or is the scene there dead. Thanks in advance.

I used to work with an agency in Dallas (Charm Body Works), which was nice, actually.  But I prefer having a bit more control of my schedule and communication, so I found that going independent suits me better.

When I was looking for an agency to get started with, I didn't find many, unfortunately.  

Good luck in your search!

so this might not be helpful, but the rentry agency listing, started as a K-girl agency listing but has branched out to Asian and some one off I think, might give you something to consider. Looks like a dozen or so are listed and *should* be relatively current.
