If those are raw onions, I'm sorry but I'm out.
That's going to seriously overpower the other flavours in my own experience.
This doesn't look like a balanced dish.

Going to have to disagree with you. Raw white onion in chili is legit.
Looks great OP! Photo made me super hungry.

Disagree all you want.
Raw onion to chili ratio is super far off, especially that size. There should be no raw "chunk" ingredients in a chili.

Since when can there not be raw ingredients in a chili?
Everyone's got their own taste, dude. Some of us like raw onion.

OP said "Texas Chili". That means something. It doesn't mean "big chunks of raw onion".
I am nowhere near an accomplished chef, but I try and cook with balance, because I have a fussy family.
I would be picking these out of my own dish and not consider it a true 'chili' if these comparative onion-bergs were served to me.

Texas Chili just means no beans or tomato sauce if I'm not mistaken.
My family would lose their minds if I put raw onion on their chili, too, but I like it.
Everybody has preferences.

You kinda endorsed my point there.
We all have individual tastes, I love buckets of hot sauce, for example.
That doesn't mean it's appealing to most. I got served this in a restaurant, I'd say WTF and send it back.
It's just badly constructed.

Yes, it is badly constructed for you specifically.
