Texas is the 2nd largest state......

Shut up

Better than the shithole you probably crawled out of this morning. This is a generational winter event for the state.

How many winter storms a year does Texas get?

Hmmm. It's almost like there's a connection here....but I can't quite put my finger on it.

I haven’t lost power or water once in 7 years. If a blackout occurs it’s likely not in the larger cities but in small towns in the state.

But to answer the OP, it's because buildings, roads, etc. are designed to withstand this type of weather, and there is infrastructure in place to handle major snowstorms. Hell, there are plows out on the roads clearing things out mid-storm.

For very understandable reasons, Texas doesn't have those systems in place, and buildings aren't built with that type of weather in consideration typically. It's not rocket science.

Lol. Chicago and New York have people die when the temperatures reach 90 degrees
