Unless you are thinking of the movie Armageddon, the asteroid that was reported in the media with a size of Texas is Apophis.
However, as in most cases, the media managed to mislead the public, especially as the observed diameter is a mere 450 meters - much smaller than Texas, unless something has happen in the US that I'm not aware of!!!
It seems that the original reports were misleading because scientists reported that it would devastate an area the size of Texas a slight difference between the amount of "collateral" damage and the original size of the object.
