I cant speak for all Texans..
but in my mind a pond pier is something simple and usually straight out into water. Almost nothing more than a sidewalk out into water.

A pond dock is something wider, maybe has a roof, maybe a boat slip, maybe picnic tables, maybe cleaning sinks...maybe a gathering space.
