Texans are cool cichlds but very aggressive. Make sure it is carpinthhe and not a cyanogatattum. Both are very alike and hard to tell apart. The latter grows way bigger than the other.
cyano`s grow to about 12 " the other about 4"
How big is your tank.
If your looking for big cichlids I have 4 synspillums and I am selling 2 of them. They are about 3" now.

karen, anthony,
Herichthys carpintis is commonly known as a Pearlscale, whilst Cichlasoma cyanoguttatum is known as Texas cichlid, Rio Grande perch. Both fish can grow to +/- 30cm., for one of these fish I recommend at least a 55g tank, preferably 75g. Hope this is of some help.
