Her academic background is as follows: 1993 - 1995, Bachelor of Science and Techniques "Quantification and treatment of pollutants (water, air, waste, and noise), University of Pau (France); 1995 - 1996, Master in Chemistry and Water Microbiology, University of Poitiers (France); 1996 - 1999, Ph.D. in Chemistry and Water Microbiology, Ecole Mines de Nantes-University of Poitiers (France); 2000 - 2002, Postdoc in Petroleum Biotechnology, Mexican Petroleum Institute- Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM) Iztapalapa Campus (Mexico).

Professor Texier is currently a Professor at the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana, Iztapalapa Campus, which she joined in 2003 in the Microbiology Area of the Biotechnology Department. She has been a National System of Researchers (SNI) member since 2002 and is currently a National Researcher Level II of the SNI. She has been recognized with the Desirable Profile (PRODEP) since 2003.

She has participated in coordinating and executing several research projects on microbiological, physiological, and bioengineering studies of microbial consortia for the biological treatment of wastewater. She has 20 years of experience in the development of projects focused on the simultaneous removal of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur contaminants present in wastewater, in the use of respiratory processes such as nitrification, denitrification, and biological desulfurization for effluent treatment, in the biodegradation of recalcitrant organic compounds, including aromatic compounds from the petrochemical, petroleum, chemical, textile, paper, among others, and emerging organic contaminants such as pharmaceuticals and corrosion inhibitors.

She has directed 11 projects of Social Service (undergraduate level), three specialty theses, six master's theses, and four doctoral theses.
