Not bad form at all, IMO, though I think you are asking for problems. Better to do the swarm removal yourself, IMO, so you can see the temperament of the bees. You may end up with the nasty bees that others don't want....
Why not put an ad out there yourself, do the scrambling, and take the girls home? I do NOT suggest you hive swarms for free. You will have a 50/50 chance of them staying, and when you come home with an empty pocket, an empty gas tank, and an empty hive box the next morning, it sucks!
I don't know the swarm season in DFW, but I would suspect it's fairly close to here, which can be any time!
