Where in Texas?

You know we are a reasonably big state and there is no point in telling you about a smith in Brownsville if you are in Amarillo.

Once you have found someone capable to re-pad your rifle stocks, take / ship only the stock--no need to ship the barreled action. I sincerely believe that in your area, there are several who could perform this chore for you.

I've done these before. Get the pad, line up the holes to the stock, pencil a mark, drill pilot holes and then screw them in. Good luck! Jeff
