Your best bet is one of the orioles, a type of blackbird.
Texas is home to the Baltimore and Bullock's Orioles. Altamira Orioles occur infrequently along the Mexican border.
Bullock's are distinguished from Baltimores by their broad white wing patches and more extensive orange on the head, having only a black crown and eyeline. Altamiras have very limited black on the head, described best as a bib, so you're looking at a possible Altamira along the very southern border or more likely, a Bullock's.
Depending on the time of year, I'd also check out the Blackburnian Warbler which migrates through Texas and can have a yellow to orange colored head and dark body.
Exotics are also a possibility. Orange Bishops are sometimes kept in captivity and also fit your description, as well as some types of finches.
a robin
what kind of bird is it that has a black body orange chest an dances sometimes 2nd answer: Sounds very much like a common Robin. The robin, turdus migratorius, is in the thrush family of birds and likes eating berries and earthworms.
Assuming you're in the US take a look at the various Orioles, starting with the Baltimore, as it best suits the orange body/black head description. Also possible are Black-headed Grosbeak and Orange Bishop. If you're not in the US...well. I'm no help there.
the bird is called an American goldfinch. we have a billion of them and they love thistle.
I believe I have found the answer to my own question. I think the bird I saw was a red bellied woodpecker.
Oriole
ask some one that knows about birds
That's a fairly general question, but the American Avocet (in breeding plumage) has a black and white body and an orange neck and head.

The cock-of-the-rock.
Don't know, that's what I would like to find out, lol. Thanks.
Red head and black body bird
If the black is the crown of the head, and you can notice a patch of red under the tail when it takes off, it is a catbird.
Where did you see it? Like, area in the world or state. It was at my bird feeder in my yard In the outskirts of Hillsdale Mi. in the country.
