Since you want to enable spell checking for only certain file types,
change that "set" to "setlocal", e.g.,

autocmd FileType tex setlocal spell

Also, Vim does not have a file type for .txt files. You can either
create your own txt file type, or you can use an autocommand like
this:

autocmd BufNewFile,BufRead *.txt setlocal spell
