When can I do split on my single hive?

I am in central Tx and have one strong hive. I would like to do a split this summer but I am so new at beekeeping I have no knowledge of how to know when I can do it.

Very helpful leaflet here, with lots of detail. It doesn’t matter that this guy is from a colder climate than you, all of the concepts are just as valid.
