So Texas needs Ohio to come down there and teach them how to keep coal and natural gas plants running when it gets cold? Because it gets cold AF here and our main worries are if we have enough salt to pave the roads with.
The plants and all the infrastructure they need. Of course, that costs money to do and maintain, so it's probably cheaper for them to just deal with it on the rare occasions winter weather is an issue down there than to actually put the time and money in.
Ohio gets cold year after year; this is record setting levels of cold in areas not used to cold.
I'd wager that if you combined the 10 lowest cities in texas you might have one slow plow between them. Why would they have a fleet of them?
(The answer is because they are smart and could rent them out to the other unprepared states but thats kind of a gamble and one most tax payers don't want to be made with their money; rent from a private owned business if needed.)
In NC where I work when we have snow, the groundskeeping team obviously can't do any other work. They get their large and small front end loader and attach plows to all their trucks and keep all the parking lots and walkways clear until it stops snowing.
We only get any snow maybe once or twice a year, and only enough to matter every other year, and they handle it with what I assume is minimal cost by repurposing existing equipment and people, and having a couple attachable plows stored somewhere.

Lol, Texas ain’t even thinking about salt and roads right now. We were so unprepared as a stated it hurts.
laughs in driving down 35 on cleared roads
They found some salt for 35 after the pile up.

Salt is for pussies! (Laughs in Alaskan)
