Why can't the FS Specialist use the same resources I would have to
use to figure it out?

He can and he will.

Actually, in this case it was "He would, but he couldn't."

I am very familiar with how this all works. I was also drowning in the
rain and the WX-BRIEF number was what I had handy. I have used this
before, from half-way across the country. I have never had any trouble
with them simply forwarding the closure.

This guy was unable to do so because he could find no record of a big chunk
of Texas existing. He couldn't find either airport. He couldn't find what
sector to call. He claimed that his records showed that neither airport
designator existed. [He did speculate that he might be having "equipment
problems."]
