You might want to contact the Texas Repeater Coordinator for guidance.

Amateur radio repeaters are usually licensed in one of two ways - with your own callsign or a club callsign (with a licensed amateur operator as the trustee).
You'll want to coordinate a repeater with the local repeater coordination group - for Texas, try:

No extra FCC license is needed for an amateur radio service repeater, you can use your existing callsign. All classes except Novice can operate a repeater station.
Amateur radio has voluntary repeater frequency coordination. There is no legal requirement to coordinate your repeater frequencies but in the event of interference between repeaters the FCC usually will rule in favor of the repeater that followed the coordination process. Go to the Texas VHF-FM Society page for info on coordination.

Repeaters are not allowed on certain frequencies. It would be a good idea to read 97.205 (and the rest of part 97) and the Texas band plans.
If you do not coordinate with the Texas VHF-FM Society folks, they could give the frequency pair that you independently selected to an applicant that went through the coordination process. It is definitely best to have a coordinated frequency pair in case one day another repeater shows up interfering with your system.

Just to be sure here….
I see that you have FCC amateur radio license KJ5GZR. So, you have the license you need for an amateur radio repeater.
But are you looking to license a UHF repeater within the 70 cm amateur radio band (420-450MHz), or on another part of the UHF spectrum?
Your license -only- covers the amateur radio bands, and no where else. If you want a commercial UHF repeater or GMRS, you are not covered by your current license. It's an entirely different process requiring a different type of license.
