I have a large yard -- approximately three standard lots. There are
six pecan trees (used to be seven) in the yard. The wet summer we had
this year ended a nearly two-year drought. And the drought-stressed
pecan trees went -- ummm -- nuts. They lost limbs from the weight of
the pecans, in fact. There are so many pecans in the yard that we've
given away more than we've kept. So many that instead of bending down
to pick them up, I've taken to sitting on the ground with my bag when
I pick them. So many that parts of the yard are crunchy.
Shelling pecans is a good antidote to job stress: mindless,
repetitive, and just a little violent.
What are you going to do with them all? It's a nice problem to have,
I guess. Freeze them? And I'm curious, what is a standard lot in Texas?

I collected 30#+ (unshelled) of pecans from my tree this season. Many
are in the freezer now.
I don't think there is a "standard" lot size, that would vary with the
minimum zoning from area to area. Presumably the OP is referring to the
usual sub acre city type lot, so three might be around 1 acre or so.
