I was going to suggest hiring your local lumberjack to drop it for you, but since you are by Houston, there probably not too many of them around. If it was me, I'd have no problem dropping it myself. It would be nice to have at least a 24 inch bar, 30 or 36 would be even better. Notch it about 1/3 of the way thru, start sawing from the opposite side, as soon as you are deep enough pound wedges in the saw cut. Continue sawing until you come about 2 or 3 inches from the notch.. pound the wedges... saw and pound some more until it goes over...keeping the wedges pounded tight, it'll soon give way, and drop where you wanted it. Be very careful that your hinge doesn't get too small. I've dropped many trees, and haven't found one yet that didn't ultimately come down. For a tree that size, make sure you have plenty of wedges before you start sawing.
