Animation director Tex Avery has this name. He started the zany screwball animation in the 30s/40s. He created Daffy Duck and Bugs Bunny, Droopy Dog, Blitz Wolf and Red Hot Riding Hood. Popular episodes: I Love to Singa (Warner Bros) and Red Hot Riding Hood (MGM).

I don't think Tex has to be such a masculine name. It's my nickname-because of my middle name (Texanna), and I've grown fond of it. I now sign my papers as Katie "Tex".
This name is totally ridiculous. It would sound pathetic in Texas, and just plain weird anywhere else. Tex sounds rather like the name of a dog or a redneck.
I know a girl I met at a summer French immersion program named Madeline whom everyone called Texas or Tex, because that's where she she lives. I still think it's a bit weird though.
