There is no required registration for gun ownership in Texas, except for specific weapons/accessories. If you look at registration, Texas has the highest count by far. However, the vast majority of those registrations are not guns.
Gun ownership rate estimations vary widely, but in the neighborhood of 35-43%. OP evidently found a 46% number and believed it was 46 guns per capita. There is estimated to be only about 400 million firearms in the nation and 28 million Texans, creating a math problem.
It's about what you'd expect from somebody claiming Texas has the right to leave the union without Federal consent. We did have the right to split into multiple states, but there's a funny thing about laws and agreements - you don't know what they mean until you try to exercise them.
