At this point not much other than hope it grows back.  Can you get a ladder and inspect the crown and see if there green in it?

Thanks 1 question am new to palms where is the crown ? 

From the photo, it looks like most of the foliage is fried except for the new leaf.  Is that accurate?

Foxtails native habitat is about 12*S of the Equator... everyone tells me they can survive 20* away from habitat... hmmmm ...ok....

Check where all the fronds come from. Is it all fried? If there is ANY green, then you have a chance at getting lucky. There should be a stick-like thing coming from the very middle of the palm tree at the top, pull on that some and let us know if it comes out. If it does not come out, you might be lucky.

Most of the state is the wrong zone, to be fair. That being said, you know as well as i do that foxtail survival is not long term pretty much anywhere in Texas without it being pampered through each cold winter.

If the local foxtails around me are any indication I'd say you got below 30, I got below freezing one time with a low of 29 and any of the foxtails around here got away with only some minor tip burn.  Yours looks pretty toasted but since we're about to get and stay warm it might be worthwhile to see if it will push some growth before you take it out.  I would also be curious just where you are in TX.  Foxtails can be long term enough if you're on the immediate coast or in the valley.  Before last year there were quite a few good sized ones here in Corpus.

BTW welcome to Palmtalk!

Corpus Christi, TX, near salt water, zone 9b/10a! Except when it isn't and everything gets nuked.
