Texas law is a strange animal. In ANY possible criminal act, texas law enforcement MUST investigate and prosecute if necessary. This does not mean that the feds WON'T take over, just that texas law is supposed to be followed. This is a constitutional gray area though, much like it was over the JFK assassination, and I don't see texas law enforcement standing up to the secret service anytime soon.
