Howard recommends fertilizing three times a year - Late winter, June, and the end of summer. I'm going to try it this year and see what happens. Although I have professed one fertilization per year, this year I've seen my yard is greener in the places where I've recently used corn meal to treat for fungus.
Greensand is sand and doesn't wear out, get eaten, or dissolve - at least as far as has been explored. If it does wear out, it's not very fast. I wouldn't consider another dose of that for at least 5 years.
Molasses wears out quickly. You can redo molasses every 2 weeks if you want to. Now is certainly good.
Texas Tee, if I'm not mistaken, contains feather meal. Feather meal takes a l-o-o-ong time to decompose. I would think if you applied it already this year, you would still be seeing the benefit from it.
So after reviewing the materials, here's what I would do if it were my lawn. I don't think we know enough about the differences in the value of the products to give you a great recommendation. So, mentally divide your lawn into two halves. Spray molasses on one half and scatter Texas Tee on the other half. Then come back in a month and let us know which was the correct thing to do. I'm going to do that with corn meal and I'll let y'all know.
Also we need to know where you live. If you live in Brownsville the answer might be different than if you live in San Francisco.
