Since you are asking about a prehistoric time before any written records were kept we can never know the name of the first tribe to settle in the area that much later became Texas.

Paleo-Indians certainly inhabited the area from around 9,300 BC (over 11,000 years ago) but we do not have any knowledge of the languages they spoke, their tribal distinctions or the names of any individuals. All that we know is in the archaeological record, which will never be able to give us those details.

The first records we have of the native populations were written by the European invaders and explorers in 1519 AD, long after the Paleo-Indian culture had disappeared.
