Tex-Mex food in Texas is still Tex-Mex food.
It might be made fresher and taste better than a chain restaurant but the menu isn't that much different. We really enjoyed "authentic" Tex-Mex food in San Antonio but thought there would be more to it.
With all the expertise available here, I wonder if there is something else a person should be looking for. Or is Tex-Mex so popular now that there is no other form of Mexican food.
Back in 1968 I had enchiladas in a Mexican restaurant in (I think) Melvindale Michigan. I haven't had Mexican food that good since. And the hot sauce was liquid fire. Also, everything was a la carte. They didn't give you Spanish rice and re-fried beans with every dish.
What would you connoisseurs of Mexican food suggest a person seek out in Texas?
