By "local stuff" I guess you mean small rural counties?

All of Texas' major cities vote blue.

All the districted state & federal elected offices. Cities don't matter in those elections because they're all Gerrymandered not to.

Travis County (Austin) is carved into 5 congressional districts.

Not all. Lubbock and Ft. Worth are red through and through.
Fort Worth (or Tarrant county maybe, I forget) majority voted for a democratic president for the first time in a long time. Demographics are slowly shifting there (and for those looking for that old Austin feel, it has a lot of it these days).
If you define blue/red by the presidential vote, then the parent is correct. Every major city voted biden this cycle.
