If you have any mechanical ability, a sprinkler system is pretty straight forward. I always designed for lower water pressure than what I observed to account for growth in the water distribution system, all of your neighbors watering at once, etc. I also used the gear drive heads wherever I could to reduce the loss to evaporation. Depending on where you live in TX, the pop up spray heads can be pretty inefficient with most of the water lost to evaporation. Good luck.
