They certainly left out the part where the other grids were having major problems in the snowpocalypse. You can’t engineer to consider all edge cases, it is prohibitively expensive.
I think you’re missing the point. When a part of the grid goes down in another state, it doesn’t take the whole system with it, because it’s connected to a larger grid. Not so in most of Texas.
West Texas is connected to a larger grid, unlike the rest of the state. It didn’t have any problems with snowpocalypse and electricity.
