The Governor has the authority to appoint a Senator when a seat becomes vacant however, he cannot appoint a member to the House of Representatives.

You're right... I stand corrected. Texas Election Code § 204.021 states, "An unexpired term in the office of United States representative may be filled only by a special election in the same manner as provided by Chapter 203 for the legislature..."
