Good tailor in Dallas?

I recently picked up a beautiful, RLPL jacket that has unfinished sleeves, which I would like to have functional buttonholes. I am going to be in Dallas for a week and wondered if there were any tailor recommendations for this type of job. I haven't had much luck in the Kansas City area finding someone who does functional sleeves and would appreciate any suggestions.

My understanding is that Mr. Despos is in town only a few days each month and that he generally does alterations with existing customers. Any thoughts on this or other tailor suggestions?

I used to live in Dallas and I used a small tailor shop called Hong Kong Tailor in the Casa Linda shopping center at Buckner and Garland Rd. There are two Chinese women that own and run the shop - they are really very good and knowledgeable. One (maybe both?) of them speaks perfect English and they really did know what they were doing. I had jackets, trousers and shirts done there and everything came out perfectly. Reasonably priced as well.
