...to go with my Texas in a 75g. BTW, he's probably the most easy-going Texas cichlid in the world so I wouldnt be too worried about him making life hard on the newcomer. But include 'tough' just in case. 
Recommend a real hardy/active/tough fish

How about a breeding pair of Hemichromis Elongatus? Five stars are very tough, plus, I know where you can get this pair.

a breeding pair of elongatus wouldnt work in a 75 with ANY another cichlid, much less one with the potential to reach 10+ inches in such a small tank...and a pair would kill the texas easily (plus theyre african).
In a 75, youre looking at the smaller growing species...convicts, HRPs, neets, nics, sajica and possibly nanoluteus. Id personally go with a male neet and some sort of smaller growing pleco or catfish.
I agree with VRWC. You're not dealing with a lot space so adding other large aggressive fish would lead to problems. I have HRPs and they are colorful and active. With cover they would mix well with your Tex.

Would love to find him a partner but I wanted to add a little more color to the tank.
