Oh this is going to be fun: a show on TXA 21 airs Friday morning at 10:00 a.m. and I shot the video last Friday, inside three gorgeous Dallas to-die-for estates: 4724 Saint Johns, 9008 Briarwood, and the Strait Lane estate of Phil Romano. Luxury Dallas TV is a weekly television magazine showcasing all that is…
