It is not illegal to refuse to submit to a breath or blood test in Texas. You have the right to refuse such tests. However, there are civil penalties which may automatically apply if you refuse to comply with a law enforcement request to take such a test. Your driver's license can be revoked for 180 days for a first offense refusal to take the breathalyzer test.

Is it illegal to have somone else blow in my car breathalyzer?

Yes that is illegal to have someone blow in your car breathalyzer. It is dishonest and a violation of the law as you are allowing someone else to blow in it indicating you may or may not have been drinking and driving. Yes, unless that is the person that is driving. When you were sanctioned with a car breathalyzer you most likely signed a contract saying that you not intentionally falsify any information. That would be doing so.
