I think that Rainbow Dash and Dorchadas' suggestions are both good. Honestly, I don't know if you even need the X in the real name to get Tex as a nickname - I could see a Tennyson called Tex, or something along those lines. I think I have a bit of a tendency toward unintuitive nicknames, though, so I might be the only one who thinks that that could work.

I think that putting Texas or Tex in the middle spot and then just calling him by that would work as well.

Interestingly, there were apparently 8 boys named Texas in the U.S. in 2010 and 9 named Tex.

Also, Tennessee Thomas from The Like was born in England with the first name of Tennessee, so there's some precedent for U.S. state names used as first names in the U.K.
