You are somewhat correct.
UTex-Austin and Texas A&M University in College Station are the flagships of their respective systems. Additionally, both universities, at present, remain the only flagships (aka Tier One public universities) of the state. Again, that will likely change soon,

It's not surprising that the majority of posters on a sports message board--comprised mostly of schools from small states--don't understand the differing nomenclature used for higher education logistics in a behemoth state like Texas.

The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) categorizes Texas four-year public universities in five categories, summarized in Table 7. The THECB recognizes two research universities, which are the “flagship” institutions of the state: Texas A&M and UT Austin.
The THECB recognizes seven emerging research universities:
• Texas Tech
• University of Houston
• University of North Texas
• UT Arlington
• UT Dallas
• UT El Paso
• UT San Antonio
