The plan for Texas was never to rely on wind, and how could they, wind is not reliable!
The plan was to rely on natural gas and nuclear, which are supposed to be reliable, but which were not in Texas.
Therefore, more solar and storage is probably the best way for Texans to gain reliability. Texas had the same problem with frozen gas and nuclear plants a decade earlier, knew it was a problem, and refused to fix it.
Decentralization is the only way for people to protect themselves with grid mismanagement like that, which means home solar and storage.
