Been hearing texans say that cold winter usually means bad tornado season.
Incorrect. It depends on the jet dynamics. Typically, by spring, the bulk of jet dynamics pulls north and/or east of much of Texas. Therefore, places like Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee, etc are more in play regarding truly severe tornadoes than much of Texas, especially the southern half of the state.

Also, the last real bad winter in tejas was 2011, which was the same year as their record breaking summer. Going to be a terrible year for tejas if 2021 follows the trends.
Yes, but that also depends on the jet dynamics. If they remain farther north across the US this year, then the center of heat during the core of summer (July and August) will be more focused on the Great Plains/Midwest than Texas (see: 2012).
If you now consider Dallas as warm continental, what would you call Chicago or Detroit or Indianapolis, cool continental, cold continental or even borderline hemiboreal?

The classification I made was strictly just in terms of long-term vegetation in general, tree species, flowers, etc - not necessarily just palms.
Of course, from a purely climactic perspective, in terms of general classifications, the map will look more like the familiar Koppen or Trewartha regions.

This as I said is La Niña.
In 1956 we had our big snowstorm, I think, March 26 or 28. I wasn't alive then. I was born in April 1957, during an El Niño snow to rain storm in early April;
In late March 1974, power "front end thump" snowstorm, 8", which ended as rain. I remember getting a haircut on my way home from High School at George's, in New Rochelle;
In 1996 we had our last one around March 8-15, my older son's birthday. I watched a heavy snowstorm out the hospital window as my wife had a C-section.Big snow storm and big ice storm, powerful cold in between;
In 1999 we had really our only cold/snow in early March.About 4" of slop locally, quite a bit in Vermont at my in-laws.
All were La Niña. I think we have "room" for one more such episode.
