The major provision point for the Texas Eagle is Chicago. But it is re-stocked at Fort Worth in both directions.   In addition to getting food, booze, water, etc. in Fort Worth, the really important stuff, the locomotives are refueled there. I am not sure whether they are refueled at any other points between Fort Worth and Chicago.   I believe the locomotive on Number 21 gets enough fuel to take it to San Antonio and back to Fort Worth.  The distance is approximately 565 miles. In addition, the locomotive is used for transfering cars to or from the Sunset Limited in San Antonio.   In addition to provisions for the lounge and dining cars, as well as water for the coaches and sleepers, the toilets are dumped in Fort Worth.  I always make sure to stand well back from the dump connections and operations when dumping is in proces.  I never heard of a connection breaking loose during the transfer process, but I certainly would not want be amongst the first to witness one.  In addition to the enroute provisioning for the Texas Eagle, the Heartland Flyer is provisioned and fueled in Fort Worth.
