Evidently legal flying of drones in Texas is going to be a rare occurrence unless "capturing an image" does not mean having a live feed during a flight. Title 4 Subtitle B Chapter 423 USE OF UNMANNED CRAFT makes it pretty clear that it is against the law to "capture images" over private property without the owner's permission. Since roughly 98% of Texas is privately owned, that doesn't give much area for the average drone owner to fly around. The entire regulation evolves around "capturing an image" as being the illegal act, and it is a class C misdemeanor if you sell or give that image. Now, when you're flying around and the camera is giving you live feed "so you'll know where you're going", but your not "capturing" images via still or video photography, is that considered "capturing". If you put a piece of black tape over the lens of the drone's camera and fly around, would that be totally legal? It's confusing for sure, but if "capturing" is defined as anytime an image is being transmitted back to a receiver, regardless of whether or not it is being "captured" onto a storage device, the law is being broken the vast majority of the time any drone over Texas is in the air.
