There's a group called the Evangelical Presbyterian Church which has split off of PCUSA over several issues, inerrancy among them. Several other groups which believe in the inerrancy of scripture to the degree that it was expressed by this Texas pastor would include the Presbyterian Church in America, the Reformed Presbyterian Church and the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. I had no idea there were that many different kinds of Presbyterians.
One of my good friends up here is, or was, a PCUSA pastor in a small town about 9 miles away. His kids went to my school. His wife was also an ordained minister, serving smaller, outlying congregations until most of those left to join the EPC. They would be among those who would describe their belief in the authority of scripture in a similar fashion to this Texas pastor. Most of the former PCUSA congregations in this area, mainly the two adjoining counties where I live, are now EPC affiliated. LGBT ordination is a factor, but inerrancy is as well.
Schools who are members of ACSI, or who go through their commission for accreditation, are required to adopt their statement of faith, which includes a statement about belief in inerrancy. The one school in our area affiliated with a Methodist church uses the ACSI statement of faith for their school, but I'm not sure about the church. Of course, most of their school constituency would be conservative Evangelical, and not necessarily Methodist.
