Texas has the two types of tornadoes that can happen everywhere else: supercell tornadoes and landspouts. See the related link for details on this.

In terms of intensity Texas has had tornadoes of all levels from F0 to F5.

There appear to be two candidates for the worst tornado to hit Texas in 2011.

The first was an EF1 in the town of Robston on January 9 that caused about $5 million in damage.

The other was an EF2 on April 26 that formed in Panola County, but the worst of the damage appears to have been in Louisiana.

A more definitive answer can be provided when the annual SPC tornado report for 2011 is released in early March.
