Lettuce seeds need light to germinate. Also they need to stay moist all day.
Right now it is too late to seed lettuce ... even if you will be able to sprout them they will start to "bolt" = want to flower really soon.
I am one zone cooler than you and here are the two times of the year I seed lettuce successfully in Dallas: mid August (under some shade) and mid November.
Trust me ... I am turning green on how much lettuce I have eaten this year.

Try Swiss Chard. Mine is evergreen all summer long.
