I think getting them under the pecan tree would be great! As Roberta mentioned, I'm also in Texas and my YouTube channel is dedicated to growing plants outside for much of the year. Catasetinae LOVE our summer heat!!
You know, I'd actually go another direction that what ES and Roberta recommend with regards to water. I'd put all those cuttings on their side in the shade (above the ground, ideally on a small wire shelf or something similar) and hit them with water every day, I prefer watering in the evening. I suspect the heat and water should trigger some new growth, likely quickly.
If the cutting with the new growth starts growing new roots, pot it up, secure it tightly in the pot, and water sparingly (maybe 2x per week) for a month. Then water as normal. You'll need to find a balance between no water (which could trigger dormancy) and too much water (which would abort the new roots).
When the back bulb divisions sprout, pot one up and water as normal. Pot the other up and keep dry until the new roots are long. I'm not entirely confident in either method this time of year, so hedging your bets will likely generate at least one good plant from your two back divisions.
Ideally, at least one division makes it through autumn. Potentially you get three plants!
