Does not apply or work in the latitude of South Texas.

This old saying only works in the westerly trade wind zone. In the North
Atlantic, for example. Texas is generally on the edge of the SE trade wind
zone during the summer hurricane season. The westerlies sometimes shift
far enough south so there are prevailing westerlies but only in the
wintertime there.

Here, this link will explain it for you.

I hope everybody reads and understands it because I'm sick and tired of so
much ignorance displayed with respect to weather patterns and even what
red skies indicate and why.

The 'where' is of paramount importance and never forget it.
