In Houston TX. temps are currently 55-80s.
I have bermuda grass, currently all yellow ever since the freeze. The side of my house doesn't get much sun anyway so the grass is pretty bad but there's a lot of weeds popping up. I'm new to this and have been using spray weed killers (roundup weed killer for lawns)
Should I continue with it or is there something else that I need to do for these types?

Healthy bermuda will fight a lot of these weeds naturally, just cut it short. Right now seems good enough to get these out manually, consider a pre-emergent right now and read https://thebermudabible.com/best-weed-killer/
Speedzone.
I would use some kind of 3 way herbicide, like lesco 3 way or Trimec mixed with surfactant. That will control the broadleaf weeds, I wouldn’t worry about the grassy weeds for the time being.
Come around mid March, you’ll want to put a pre-emergent out. Something like Scott’s weedex or halts would work. You’ll need a spreader as well. One of the Scott’s mini push spreader or the battery powered hand spreader would work, their pre-emergents, have the settings you’ll need to dial in, on the back of the bag.
Cut low and hit with Trimec. Also, drop pre-emergent to get ahead of it before summer time. The summer weeds are already seeds underground.
