Try. contacting Cindy Griswold at http://flyn-hi-hounds.com. She's really near Austin, and I'm 99% sure she doesn't have any puppies, but if there was a reputable breeder near you with puppies she would likely know about that.
Research isn't over until you've read my Put-Off and the other articles about life with a Basenji while not doing the Breed a disservice !
Details are in the signature block - and talk to Bushwacker. She takes care of temperament and quality !
I have a little female available if you are intersted in more information id love to talk to you about her. she is 8 months old. Feel free to email me and we can get to know each other. She might be just what your looking for :) podhradsky@live.com or 605 999 8149
Hope I can help, even if she isnt what you are looking for
