Earliest reference I could find is a gameday program from an A&M at Texas game in the early 20s. Published by Texas it lists A&M as "Texas Aggies" and Texas as "Texas University" on the cover.
I referenced gameday programs from your quote.. you'll never find a "Texas U. or Texas University" program cover outside of the syndicated programs vs University published. The tell tale is the generic art work themes.
The odd college name presentation on the covers ties in with the AP & telegraph wire abbreviations & were common in headers & boxscores.
"Texas Aggies"? No idea & no concern to me, but I have seen it in print from collecting both vintage newspapers and programs from the 40's to 70's including one you linked.
