A couple suggestions:
* if you have the RCDefaultApp system prefs panel, locate the "tex"
extension mapping and set it as "<disable>" to dis-associate
it from Excalibur.
* delete Excalibur and then fully rebuild the Launch Services database
by issuing the Terminal command:
`locate lsregister` -kill -r -all local,system,user
then logging out and back in.

Try this:
* in the Suffix Mappings section of the Languages prefs panel, create
a new mapping for some arbitrary extension, e.g. ".mytex", to TeX
* modify the name of your TeX clippings folder accordingly, e.g.
"TeX clippings.tex" -> "TeX clippings.mytex"
[if renaming the folder doesn't break its package association,
you'll need to apply one of the above remedies]
BBEdit should then use the renamed folder as its source for TeX clippings,
while still recognizing the mapping for ".tex" files.
