These are pictures of my Elberta peach tree. Peaches only bloom on one-year-old wood, so this is the first time it's flowered (I just planted it last winter).
According to the Aggie Horticulture website, peaches should be thinned out around four to six weeks after they bloom, so that will be around May 1-15 for me.
The Elberta peach requires around 800 to 850 chilling hours which is considered a high chilling requirement and suitable for our area. Here is a map showing average chilling hours around Texas.
Here is the bud progression over the last several weeks.
