Basically any state that has a commercial citrus crop will not allow any citrus to be shipped from out of state. There are too many citrus diseases and the potential cost of bringing in one of those diseases is just too great. Sad, since there is not commercial citrus crop in the Dallas area, but the state is just so big you get tied up along with all regions in your state. If I were you I'd find someone into citrus in a state that can access Nules Clementines and have them shipped in. Yes, it is breaking the law, but really, it would not be a threat to any commercial citrus. You might even be able to have it shipped to a non-citrus producing state (ie. Kansas, Iowa, etc.) to one of your relatives or friends and then have them ship it to you.
