you need to set your texture as a constant:

 const wall_tex = "assets/walltex*.jpg"

The reason for this is constants only look at the texture once, so it chooses one random texture for that building wall and sticks with it. If you have it as a function or an attribute then it will choose a new random texture each time.

hope that helps
