Mollenkopf from Germany

My Great-grand father William Mollenkopf immigrated to the United States in 1891.This is from the 1900 US Census.The census shows birthplace as germany.I have been unable to find any record of his entry into the United States.In 1900 he and his family are living in Dallas, Texas.He married after arriving in the US because his first wife according to the 1900 census was born in Bohemia(Czech Republic).William Died in 1904 and is buried in the Cemetary of the Redeemer Luthern Church in Cisco, Eastland Co, Texas.If William entered the US thru Galveston, Texas those records were destroyed in the Hurricane of 1900.According to family tradition two brothers came with William but returned to Germany.The brothers were in the jewlery business.
