The state will see a single 2.75MW turbine begin operation near Galveston Island in the south east of the state towards the end of 2010.
The German American Chamber of Commerce [GACC] has described the turbine as a "precursor" to the 300 MW Galveston Wind Project planned for the same area.
The GACC says areas have already been leased for planned offshore projects totaling 3.5GW of power in Texas.
