What exactly is it? If it's an online compilation of literally ANY text in Esperanto (online or not), I'm not sure it would be a wise idea to keep referring to it as a source of what's valid/correct/whatever given the truly abysmal Esperanto I've seen in the past (some have so many neologisms, they may as well have been in Ido). Even some of the literature is poo-poo-ed as not very good, presumably because of questionable usages.

Also, where does one access it?

Tekstaro is a text corpus of Esperanto language. Normally corpora serve as databases of text samples used by linguists in their research, but Tekstaro can also be used as a collection of texts for human readers.

Take a look at the list of items in the corpus. Those are certainly not just "any" texts. The idea is that corpus is created by collecting text samples which best represent some language generally or it's use in some specific context. In my understanding Tekstaro aims to represent the "real" written Esperanto as it was used in literature and journalism through the whole existence of the language.
