I personally would not put a texas in there. Much higher aggression level than Oscar or severum on average, in my experience. Green terror would be better, but still no guarantees.
Honestly, I would put more peaceful fish with your sev and O, which are relatively nonaggressive SA cichlids. Maybe some blue acaras, or guianacara, similar.

Which would go better with an oscar and severum in a 120 gallon

Green terror or Texas cichlid
I have had both and would say that aggression wise there is little between them, however there are few freshwater fish that boast an amazing strong marine like colour like the Texas cichlid. Males tend to kill off other males unfortunately but the females are colourful too! can't say that for female green terrors.20170622_181524.jpg

Texas are often very aggressive. I had a 2” nearly kill my 10” Oscar and tank mates a few years back. Cool looking but insane.

I just started a new 125 and have a GT in with Oscar and severum. Currently working very well.
