Yes, it would definitely be easier for you to remain as an employee. It typically makes more financial sense too, unless your employer is willing to pay you more as a contractor to compensate for the additional taxes you will owe. Contractors don't receive other benefits either, so that must be factored in. Keep in mind that the IRS determines what a contractor is (versus what an employee is); it's not as simple as being re-labeled while performing the exact same role.
From a tax perspective, the only difference for your employer will be figuring out the unemployment taxes on a remote employee. Texas has no state income tax, so that simplifies it a lot.
