I disagree! The web page has confused "texture" with "granularity". See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_(crystalline)
If you need a way to separate students in an exam, you could pretend to
believe that texture refers to solid samples, but preferred orientation
is for free flowing powders. eg: texture is a static property of some
object, preferred orientation is what you got once with a particular
sample holder.
All the best,
