Have you looked into the repeat offence factor which contributes to longer sentence for mostly men? If you take that out, women are more harshly sentenced even in texas only when they do "men's crimes" such as murder.
I've come across that article; the problem is that it is rather old (from 1987), which means in a scientific publication it would require further backing from more recent studies, and it bases its (very tentative) claims on very specific types of crimes, which the study I cited indicates would likely be a result of the variation of the effect of gender. They specifically examine the exact suggestion cited in the article you've shared, and concluded that there is no consistent or predictable pattern behind it.
