This isn't quite what you said, as your comment spoke about the energy industry specifically, but I decided to see if there was any data on people's beliefs about climate change by state. I found this interesting site from a program on Climate Change Communication from Yale, and it allows you to view the results on various questions related to climate change by state. My conclusion from clicking through a few of these is that Texas is close to the national average in climate change beliefs.

Some numbers: Global warming happening 71% (-1 from Avg), Caused by humans 56% (-1 from Avg), Support regulating CO2 72% (-3 from Avg), Expand offshore drilling 57% (+5 from Avg)

Due to the broken nature of American politics; what Texans believe on any single issue doesn't really matter unless Texans can organize better than the vested interests paying for climate change denial in policy.
