Do you mean electricity generation (power produced for the grid) in Texas in 2016, or total primary energy used/consumed (all fuels across transportation, industry, heating, electricity, etc.)?
If you mean electricity generation: the two biggest sources in Texas in 2016 were natural gas (the largest) and coal (second). Wind was the third and growing rapidly; other sources (nuclear, solar, hydro, biomass) supplied much smaller shares.
If you mean total primary energy consumption/production: petroleum (oil/petroleum products) and natural gas were the top two by a wide margin; coal and renewables made up smaller shares.
Tell me which metric you want (electricity generation or total energy), and I’ll give the 2016 shares/numbers and a short comparison with the other sources, with data sources.
