Smart rabbit, chuckl. Plano sits on the caprock, lots of whiterock up there. Where you have the whiterock (caliche) your iron fights it- so you will be able to grow lots of things that like calcium, but need to isolate plants that like iron. How do I know? Chuckl, The Red River is where I grew up along, and there are no pine trees (they require iron). The raised beds are perfect for this.
Yes, I also lay screening over the top of the soils, and metal wire under my beds or the moles move in. Keeping them excessively wet deters the fire ants. My dogs do their best to catch the squirrels which keeps them on the climb. The cats do the same and I recieve mole/squirrel/ snake, and occasionally hissing spitting small possum gifts. Rabbits love to sit on things to watch their surroundings and to eat and leave you gifts on said sitting areas. Snails and slugs, I have so many...eggshells, save all eggshells, nuke em about 3 min and crush them small, place around the plants heavily- they do not like to cross the bits. 8 penny nail (Dsize) beside the stems of pepper, tomato, etc keeps the cutworm away from the base of your plants, but that is the cutworm that makes a circle and beaver cuts the plant down. You will still need to probably spray spinosad for the ones that eat above the ground. My flea beetles do not like the peppermint I grow and cut into bits to place on the soils in my tubs. Planting the stinky marigolds and basils around your tomato plants help also repel several predators, but as far as I can tell, leaffooted bugs ignore all repellants, just have to learn their instars and crush em quik. Luck up there in Plano!
