Try these people, If you are talking semi load(s). I dont know if they will go to texas.

I see on Houston's Craigslist once in a while someone selling them pretty cheap. You may check there or Austin's Craigslist.

I just went to a RR yard where I saw a big pile of them and asked the forman. He said "we're not supposed to do that but it costs me money to get rid a them. How many do you want ?" They were not the best, they cul out the best ones. But they were fine for making my corduroy road out in the woods.

I think I have seen them at Farmer's Lawn Grass on N Hwy 183 in Leander..

Is there an Atwood's in your area? They sell them for about $10-$12 each.

As I understand it, due to creosote and environmental issues, RR no longer sell tyes.
Same goes for utility companies and ploes as far as I know.

I have seen them in the McCoys Lumber & Building supplies dowm here in San Antonio, TX

Piloon is correct, at least in Western New York, they want them to go to a secure landfill! "Thanks GreenFolks"! All this stuff could be re-used (Garden bunks, pole barns etc., instead of land-filled! ~S
