To avoid confusion & to simplify the count, the Texas two step is normally taught using a 4 count.
In using this count, the touches on beats 4 and 6 become a mental count.
As you would count it out would be: one, two, three (touch), four (touch)
& referred to as quick, quick (require one beat of music), slow, slow (requires two beats of music).
