Try calling $TEX, which is the top-level, user-visible function named "tex".
$TEX is not an ordinary Lisp function so you call it like this:

:lisp (mfuncall '$tex '((MEQUAL SIMP) ((MPLUS SIMP) -8 ((MTIMES SIMP)
-4 $X) ((MTIMES SIMP) 8 ((MEXPT SIMP) $X 2))) 0))
 => $$8\,x^2-4\,x-8=0$$

tex takes some optional arguments, see ? tex or ?? tex for more about that.
