Red Texas can be a handful of things. Red devilxtexas, midasxtexas, blood parrotxtexas, any of those crossed with a carpintis, the mammon cross you mentioned, the list can go on.
Just another mutt fish lol.
But definitely not a central x african lol

As far as being an RT, if it is it's a low grade specimen, but most in the hobby are.

What matters is if you like your fish.
Chances are, how he looks now is the brightest he'll get. Decent fish though.
Maybe we're 10 years away from TRUE Red Texas being sold in most LFS, same way Thai Silks were expensive 7 years ago. And I got a Thai Silk for $30 last year.

The OP's fish doesn't even look like an RT, I don't see any orange on it, let alone red. It's just appears to be some form of carpintis cross.
