Never heard of it or an oil expert but here is my take....
Company is based out of Tahoe City California...not Texas
Amazon Page states that it has :API TC+ (TSC-3) JASO FC, FD ISO-L-EGC, EGD TISI Piaggio Hexagon Detergency certifications.....the ISO-L=EGC would be impressive if true or I could find that they registered the oil with any society.
But on the API website it doesn't state any two stroke oils listed

Also nothing comes up if you search for Texas Tea on registered oils for JASO

Here is a quick break down of 2 stroke oil specifications.

I wouldn't live and breathe by the specifications but it is nice to know that if a manufacture requires a certain grade of oil that you have proof that it is guaranteed to a certain standard or above...They cannot refuse warranty for different oils but if it is not registered to meet the manufactures specification then they can claim you chose to use a possibly inferior product that would not meet demands.
(Just a butt covering step to see how honest the oil rating claims are, that are posted on Amazon)
I don't like that they don't state any distribution chains outside of Amazon on-line store, or that it only comes in large quantities. Usually if it is in question it can be nice to talk with someone in person an possibly buy just a quart to get analysed some where (mass spectrometer and a few tests, Timken bearing test, other ASTM tests, etc, etc....)
Now for the Nitty Gritty

It is nice to see that most of the chemical make up is base oils / stocks this means that in general they are a good quality and do not rely as heavily on additives. It is nice to see that they use Group IV PAO and Group V Ester base stocks, but they don't give you a break down of what percentage approximately of each they use. The highly hydrotreated paraffinic oil is a good / cheap way to get low temperature properties such as pour and boost the viscosity index a bit at the same time. (Can explain VI later if need be). Also they use a farily small amount of Polybutene compared to a few other two stroke oils I just glanced at for the sake of this post which is good because in high amounts it can cause gumming due to it essentially being a plastic and used to help with low temperature properties again (pour and etc....), to reiterate, relies on base oils/stocks instead of these additives.
No where posted could I find Viscosity at low temperature to calculate the VI and not all that impressed that the Viscosity at 100 C has a range from 7-12 cSt. But at least they are honest about the fact that it will have a range and not just post an average value.
Again not a professional here, just telling you what I see.
