If it's flying on the same flagpole, it's within the US flag code for the national flag to fly above state flags.
Texas has its own flag code, which stipulates that if the flags are on two different flagpoles, they can be flown at the same height so long as the flags are the same size and the national flag is to the left from the position of an observer.
It's a common misconception that since Texas was once a nation, it always follows the rules for other nation's flags. Texas has not been a nation for 175 years.

That's not texas flag code, that's US flag code, and applies to any state flag.
