My IMP merc with leadership in the 90's can't do it. Fox (who Tex apparently likes) can't do it. I even hacked a sector and gave myself the "wild wild east video". That seemed to work....but it didn't.
I have read that others have hired Tex. Was that using Jona's patch? I'm just using the standard SOG'69 campaign with "official" patch. If you hired Tex in this "standard" version of SOG '69, did you do anything special?

OK, thanks for the reply....
However, Betty did *not* have the video for sale (which is why I changed a sector to get it). What happens is...
a) I give him the video
b) he gets all nostalgic and says he will join for free
c) I press the recruit button
d) he says something about me "not appreciating his value".
It's as if I were playing JA2 and had poor morale or something, but morale is good....I won every battle, no casualties (well...no deaths at least), no retreats and no dead civies.
Oh yeah, Trang refuses to give me a mission, although he gave it to me the last time I played. Related? Or is it because I finished it in my last game and the flag hasn't been reset?

I agree with JAT. I think you need to start with a fresh team in order to recruit Tex.
However, keep in mind that the Tex that you'll end up with in SOG 69 is more like the Tex Colburn in Deadly Games than the Tex Colburn in Unfinished Business (in SOG, Tex has lower marksmanship, is weak physically, and is at experience level 1). It is not worth starting the game again just to get Tex (though he still offers to work for free). Restart only if you're curious or if you're a Tex fan ("I hear rustling sounds, could be... uh... rustlers!")
[PS: I used Sarge to train Tex (it took a long time to get most of his stats up... strength and marksmanship), and after that Tex worked quite well (once marksmanship is up to 77, or higher, if you have someone else like Scope, Lynx or Sidney train Tex after Sarge is done) in SOG '69, because of his ambidexterity and the close-range nature of the mod. After training, and equipped with two silenced Scorpions (not on auto-fire, of course), he has hit a surprising number of targets that are out-of-range (aim for the torso if they are out-of-range). And I stopped training at marksmanship of 77.]

Addendum:
I went back to Tay Ninh City to sell some stuff and now Betty isn't there! Hopefully she'll show up if I try later.
