is it OK to trim loquats right now, in Texas? not concerned with
subsequent flowering, way overgrown, gotta reduce

I'd say yes. Pruning after production is recommended and that would be
now. I just read some sites that said to keep it pruned of small suckers
year around and even prune the fruit and flowers to make bigger fruit. I
don't think you can damage it, especially if you don't care for the fruit.
I've pruned some babies down to the ground and they keep coming back.
