To quote Texas law, "If no candidate for a particular office receives the vote necessary to be elected in an election requiring a majority vote, a runoff election for that office is required."

Since originally answering this question, I have learned that in the case of elections governed by Texas state law rather than local law only primaries require a majority vote.
