TEXAS TRANSFER BIDS
Opener Responder
1NT 4D - asks opener to bid 4H
4H - asks opener to bid 4S
Opener has no option other than to bid game in the indicated suit.
The Texas convention is used in competition, but only through 3C
(i.e., when both 4D and 4H are jumps):
South West North
1NT 3C 4D/4H - Texas transfer
1NT 3D 4D - Stayman, ostensibly
4H/4S - natural game bid
4C - Gerber
Texas transfer followed by 4NT is Roman Key Card Blackwood
(included in the book "Strong Bidding"). A Texas transfer must
usually be made immediately in response to 1NT, but can also apply
as a follow-up to Stayman if opener responds 2D:
Opener Responder
1NT 2C
2D 4D/4H - Texas transfer
The 4D bid implies a weak 4-6, the 4H bid a weak 6-4 in spades-
hearts. Responder would bid a forcing 2H or 2S with slam interest.

1NT 2C
2S 4D - splinter bid, not Texas
