Jacoby transfert correction
The Mandatory Texas rectification.
Correcting Texas means that the opener names the suit indicated by the responder. After a 1 NT opening, this correction is mandatory (this is not the case after a 2 NT opening). Indeed, the responder's Texas transfer after 1 NT can be a rescue to prevent their partner from playing 1 NT with a completely worthless dummy hand.

FR version
the responder uses Texas to avoid playing 1 NT with a completely worthless dummy hand. With hearts as trump, the dummy's hand will help limit the damage.
