Laborie/Bent endpin users in Dallas/Austin TX

Hey everyone, going to keep this quite simple: I'm looking for any one in the Dallas or Austin area that uses any of the variations of the laborie end pin, whether its a "proper" Laborie, a tiltblock, and eggpin, whatever, that would be willing to meet up with me to allow me to try it out. I live in Dallas, but make frequent trips down to Austin to visit my folks.
Also I'd like to request that no one make any comments about the validity of such a set up or anything like that, there are dozens upon dozens of those threads out there already, let's not make this another opportunity to debate various set ups.
Feel free to respond on here or message me personally, thanks everyone.

Bump, still seeing if I can find anyone, anybody have a better suggestion for which area to post this in for better luck perhaps?

You can make dozens of endpins at a smith and try them out:
