Probably not even really “in play” until the mid 2030s.

Seems almost like a cavalier statement but this is a big deal. If the Republicans lose Texas then it is just about over in future presidential elections. So if Republican strategists know what you've written then they better be working like hell to expand the base.

Edit: Looking at projections for additions of districts after 2020 census, Texas is expected to gain 3 congressional seats. The Republican majority in the state legislature should reapportion and gerrymander wisely.
