Grass seed

Hi,I recently purchased a home which has a backyard full of weeds and sandy soil typical in El Paso, TX. I have researched and been told that Bermuda grass is a suitable grass for this region. I was told by an employee of Home Depot that planting season is over in El Paso, but researching the conditions for Bermuda grass, I think there is some time left to get it done. Our weather right now is still in the mid to upper 90's, and we have strong sunlight all year. From what I understand, Bermuda does well in sunlight and 80 degree + temperatures. Also, I bought a bottle of Spectracide Weed Stop for Lawns, and the directions say to wait four weeks before seeding. Can I plant now, and then use this after the grass has matured? I plan on pulling the weeds by hand now, then tilling and planting, etc. Any other advice concerning these matters would be appreciated. Thanks!
