So you merely provide evidence that there are no out-of-state power crews working to restore power under a mutual assistance agreement. At best they will possibly get in-state help from other power companies. Just a reminder the mutual assistance from other states to Texas under the agreements outlined by the Texas Mutual Assistance Group are limited to training. All Texas can do is beg these other out-of-state power companies to send people and hire out-of-state non-company private contract line crews. Thanks for confirming this.
Texas is the sole state in the union which is not tied into the national electric grid and has no viable mutual assistance agreements with out-of-state utilities.
Of course, as noted in the article the Oncor power company can provide no estimate on when power will be restored. "Trimble said it is impossible to give an approximate time frame of when power will be restored." SAD
Just a reminder the Texas utility grid remains the most vulnerable in the country to extreme weather events. No effective progress on improvement has been made since 2021 --- there is much more work to do. Praying the Texas grid does not fail again is not a viable strategy.

'Marginally better': Texas power grid still vulnerable to extreme winter weather, federal report warns
A federal assessment indicates the Texas electricity grid remains almost as vulnerable to extreme winter weather as it was when it nearly collapsed during a prolonged deep freeze in February 2021.
