When his contract expires, find another realtor.

Read your contract. You are not in a long-term committment with this realtor.
But have all your own ducks in a row when you go "shopping" for a new realtor. They are going to know your house has been listed with this "bad" realtor. Are you ready to move out?, willing to negotiate on anything? had an inspection done so you know what to expect when buyers do the same? have your house in top shape for showing? Is your MLS listing available on the internet?
The market is tough in TX, lots of homes for buyers to choose from. Do your own homework as the clock ticks down on your contract with this realtor and be poised to aggresively market your home on the first day of a new contract with someone else.

If you don't want to wait until your listing contract expires, try talking to the broker at the agency the realtor works for.
Express your concerns and be polite. Your contract is actually with the broker and the agent is working as an "agent," of the broker as well.
good luck

As has been said, your listing agreement is with the broker, not the agent. If you are dealing with a big national firm, they sometimes have agreements they have you sign that contain a clause that indicates you can effectively fire them if they don't do their job (after giving them a reasonable time to correct the problem).
Call the broker and explain your problem. If he won't agree to let you out of your listing agreement, ask him to move your listing to another (experienced) agent. The broker should not have a problem doing that.
If the broker agrees to let you out of your listing, make sure he signs a document entitled "Termination of Listing" and gives you a signed copy. Make sure to read the document before signing.

I would give you the links that the state of Texas and other professional organizations geared to help people in your situation has provided to the public answering your question but yahoo answers says that providing links with the proper answers to questions is spamming and they rather just have written answers from sources that are not qualified to provide such answers

Inform the Realtor in question that you are not satisfied with their services and that if you are not let out of the agreement that you will report them to the State licensing commision and complaints like that can get their license revoked. Most likely they will just let you out of the contract. Make sure you do it in writing, include exact times, places and events that will prove your point of dissatisfaction.

I partially agree with (The Man) however, sometimes they are there own broker. Separate entity. Whatever you do make sure you get it in writing. Make sure you are FREE and CLEAR from that Realtor. Otherwise you may have to pay him as well as your new Realtor.

Your contract should state how you are to cancel the contract. Just tell then they're fired and you want a cancellation of contract.
