What area of the state are you in now? Norfolk doesn't sound like an adapted Pine. I see no reference of it in Howard's book "Texas Trees". The only thing I can think to suggest is an application of horticultural cornmeal and the sick tree treatment.

Nature has a way of putting things the way they should be by taking out ill adapted or diseased plants. Check out the quote in my signature below. It speaks volumes.
Good luck to you!
