Texas is what is commonly called a "one party consent" state, which means that if one party to the conversation knows the conversation is being recorded and consents to the recording, the other party need not. Here is a longer overview of the Texas law:

However, even assuming that it is legal to record the conversation, there may be limits on the use of that recording.
