hi this is my first texas and i got it since it was a fry, im kind of new to this fish,
i was doing my homework about them and it said they sexually mature when they reach 3-4in,
my texas is already 4in and i still have no idea if its a male or female at all,

I would say female. If you want a definite answer, vent it.

Look for a black blotch in the anterior portion of the dorsal fin. That would indicate female.

No blotch...male:
