You get it from somebody that bought it before it was discontinued.
I think you could have some made, but you might need to order 3 or 4 thousand gallons.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ed Fowler doesn't have a tanker full of it out on his ranch. I'd check with him just in case. I got mine from Shane Justice a few years ago and I think I got the last that he had. Good luck!

Chevron bought Texaco but kept a lot of Texaco products. You should be able to contact a Chevron bulk plant and find Texaco A. It may have had a name change.
If what you are looking for is a quench oil to use on high hardenability steels (O1, L6, etc.) Houghto-quench "G" or Park's AAA are good quenchants. Texaco A is slower than those two oils.
