This is very misleading and almost certainly deliberately so.
Texas is the only is State that doesn't participate in the national grid (90% anyhow). Their prices are lower because they dont abide by the regulations that they would be required to if they did. Like weather proofing infrastructure.
This is also why their grid crumbles every time it gets cold, or hot, or... Tuesday.
See the 2021 grid failure for a particularly bad example. In that instance somewhere between 250-700 Texans died to keep their prices low.[0]
