Original Note:
Texas law does prohibit convicted felons from running for state/federal office, but Federal law allows for convicted felons to run as long as they do not have a federal felony conviction. Federal law overrides state in this case. https://www.law.cornell.edu/constitution-conan/article-1/section-4/clause-1/role-of-the-states-in-regulating-federal-elections
