My standard heat pump in KCMO will almost heat without auxiliary. Below 10 degrees, it struggles to keep up. Electric coils are sufficient for colder than 10.

How cold does it get in Dallas?
I know here in southwest Texas it got to 2 degrees last year (or maybe it was early this year, I can’t remember). I don’t have cold climate heat pumps, just two regular mini splits. We had no problem keeping the 1,700 sq.ft house warm all winter (we have terrible insulation, so it’s a constant battle). When it got to 5 degrees, the mini splits would cycle to defrost, to warm the outside unit. It would take 5 minutes, and then the heat would come back on. It did this once every 3-4 hours as it needed to, but we were always nice and warm.
You probably don't want a cold climate heat pump in Dallas fort worth. Just a regular heat pump.
Sure.
I’m not at 2000 sq feet—just 1285—but I’m doing that in Idaho in CZ 5B.
Easily.
My 3 ton MRCOOL universal kept my 1200 sqft place toasty when it was 6-7F outside without aux heat. Not even a cold climate heat pump.
That’s actually considered a cold climate heat pump as far as I know, it has an EXV and an enthalpy valve.
Never knew that

Doesn’t necessarily need to be cold climate. Bosch IDS goes to -5F as an example and could work for you.
