No, it is not legal to camp anywhere in Texas. Camping is allowed in designated campgrounds, state parks, national parks, and some private lands. You must have permission from the landowner or be in a designated camping area to camp legally. Texas has many beautiful camping locations to choose from, and you can find a variety of options on Hipcamp.
