There is no other reason people would think it is remotely possible to know who won Texas son election night. Obviously no Electoral College map shows Texas as a navy state; they are either tossup, pink, or light blue. So there is no way to know who won without all of the ballots being counted, which is mathematically impossible in just four hours.
Actually, Texas does count mail in/absentee ballots the week before election day. They start tabulating in person early in person votes on election day afternoon. All this to say, we could have a pretty good idea how Texas voted by late in the evening. If, huge if, Texas were record say 9 million votes for Biden early, that would be it... Texas has about 17 million registered voters and is a winner take all state. Not predicting that it will happen but it could.
