There are two main areas that I bird in the West Texas region, they are Big Bend National Park and the Davis Mountains.  Both areas have many species that can only be found in this part of Texas.  West texas is very productive in the Summer months, when other parts of the state can be slow.  This part of Texas also can have a number of very rare birds for the United States, many accidentals show up here every year.  Here are some birds of interest in West Texas.
