In a large mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, warm milk, and sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add the melted butter and egg to the bowl, whisking until well blended.
Gradually add the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix the ingredients together until the dough begins to come together into a sticky ball.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle with a little more flour as needed.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 3-4 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 12 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, evenly spaced.
Cover the dish loosely with plastic wrap or a towel and let the rolls rise again for 1-2 hours, or until puffy.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with softened butter for a glossy finish.
Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these fluffy Texas sourdough rolls warm with butter or as a side dish to your favorite meal!
