Need help with lawn problems, curb appeal?

I have a rental property that a property management company is suppose to to take care of for me. I have no tenants at the moment and I am trying to test the housing market by selling the house. It is located in San Antonio, which is going through a severe drought. I just found out that the tenants moved out and turned the sprinkler system off, and when inspectors finally went through, they could not get the sprinkler system to work. It will be repaired in a couple of days. But it is quite possible that the lawn has not been watered for almost a month now. I am sure the lawn looks really bad now, and I have lost all confidence that the property management company can get it to look good again, for various reasons. My priority is curb appeal. I need ideas on how to get the lawn looking good again, after being so long without water. I am sure the lawn is scorched with the 100+ degree days and no rain. I do not want advice on what I should do with the property management company or the tenants that moved out. I plan on making the 10 hour drive to San Antonio, to take care of this issue myself. So I need ideas on how to get my lawn looking good again. I do not think adding trees or plants is a good idea, because of the drought conditions they will just die. Plus, I can only water my lawn once a week due to water restrictions.

Do you think yours is the only lawn suffering in this drought? If the lawn is a bluegrass or fescue, it may very well come back........when rains return and water restrictions are lifted. There's not much you can do now except paint the grass with product such as Grass Greenzit. That's one of several such landscape paints, I would think in Texas drought that would be a big product.

Otherwise there's not much you can do to get the grass green that will not take a bunch of water, beyond the once a week restrictions. I'd concentrate the later on the more important trees and shrubs. Lawns can be overseeded..........later.
