Do not release non-native insects. Instead, consider outdoor lighting at night. This will attract insects for the toads to eat.
During the late summer months I see American Toads come to our pond to hydrate and thinking of Texas as a dry state I'm sure the toads would use water areas to hydrate if there is no rainfall. Unless this species is completely different then maybe not. I love what you are doing with this project encouraging toads to live in your yard. That's great. I agree using yard lights will bring nocturnal insects to your yard for the toads. You can leave your porch light on and the toads will come to it as the insects come to the light. Toads are very smart and adaptive. They like wood piles and rock piles but will burrow down in a garden or banks where you have plants. You can attract them in many ways. The pond would be good for them breeding.
