I'm not a green thumb by any means but I've recently started using Lesco fertilizer and live in Krugerville in an area that used to be a peanut farm. Needless to say the soil here is very sandy and We have the same issue under a tree in the front. I'm sure McKinney soil is probably pretty close. I actually started buying bags of organic compost and spreading it over the bare spots and watering it in. I keep a bag on hand as it slowly works its way in or runs off with water. It has worked wonders for the bare spots and helps to keep the soil moist and minimizes the water draining through the sandy soil. Its like 3$ a bag and can't hurt to give it a shot.

Mckinney is currently on stage 3, water every other week. So any suggestions on what I can do on the cheap to get something growing?

Supposedly the Palmetto brand is more shade tolerant...but you still have to water it.
I'm reading this as in you can't do the bullet items between 10 - 6pm...no?
Rain from last night won't hurt.

Under Stage 3 of the drought plan, residents and businesses can only use irrigation systems to water landscapes once per week if needed on the scheduled trash pick-up day. The watering schedules for commercial properties are determined by the residential trash zone where the property is located.
The city maintains efforts to reduce water use year-round, and residents are urged to conserve water. While residents and businesses are allowed to water once weekly, they are encouraged not to water at all unless needed. Restrictions under Stage 3 include the following measures:
• No watering with an irrigation system between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.
