it surveyed 1,007 Texas adults in a random telephone sample

IMO the sampling method is flawed and the data reported is incomplete. It appears that this was limited to households that are unable to afford call screening equipment, thus skewing the sample toward a lower socio-economic demographic.

The specific questions asked was not given. The results suggest some sort of push poll.

It doesn't state what language the poll was given.
It doesn't state the citizenship status of those polled.

I'd like to see a breakdown along these lines also.

Until proven that a poll reflects the opinions of legal, tax paying, achievers, I'll reject it out of hand as liberal agitprop.

This does not represent the majority opinion of most Texans I know.

I'm sure I live in a different part of Texas than you do but it does represent the majority opinion of the ones here. Texas will soon have a state income tax to support all the government programs they're adding. The school system and health care are becoming completely socialist in Texas.
