Red Devils are rather aggressive, and grow large. As are Texas cichlids. It would be really cramped in there. There are people that have made it work I guess, but it just doesn't look right. 100gal minimum would be your best bet.
You may get away with keeping them together for a while but I highly doubt that two adult Cichlids such as a Red Devil and a Texas would tolerate each-other. Consider a pair of the same type.
the only way I could see them getting along is if they became a mated pair, but even then with the highly aggressive nature of red devils there is no guaruntee they would get along all the time. I'd suggest a minimum of a 125 or other tank with similar footprint to attempt mixing red devils with other cichlids. 
Texas cichlids are tough, but in my opinion the red devil would probably end up messing him up, i would get at least a 110
We've krpt Red Devils/Midas for many years....The few raised alone since babies are notorious
for not being able to acculmate
to any other living creature in THEIR tank....
