I did not think the pump was used in Texas high school football...are you referring to the chop (Signal 1)?

If the referee chops instead of winds, then someone needs to catch it. I've never ran into that issue before though. I would suggest that whomever is running the clock to go over this quickly with the officials pre-game to ensure everybody is on the same page.
