You can use Texture.init to initialize a variable:
----
struct Texture
{
     @disable this();
     static Texture create()
     {
         Texture t = Texture.init;
         glGenTextures(1, &t.textureId_);
         enforce(0 != t.textureId_);
         return t;
     }
private:
     GLuint textureId_;
}
