Dallas PE Opportunities (2025)

I know there are a few threads already on this topic, just wanted to get a quick refresh on the PE scene. I assume the Trive, Gauge, Kainos, etc. of the world are still the highest performing? Curious what other firms people have heard positive things about (e.g., CenterOak, Trinity Hunt, etc.)?
