I'm not sure it really matters. Eligilibiliy or ineligibility to vote does not mean he is or is not eligible to run for office.

The irony that he would be forced to run in a race in which he could not vote for himself would not be lost on me.

It would be ironic if that were the case, but it appears that at least as far as residency is concerned, the requirements are the same. If he chooses to be a resident in Texas for the election I believe he will be able to vote.
