What they do own is deeded 'private' property where the owner is the Federal Government. Big Bend, various forts, etc. These are managed by DoD or National Park Service.
There are no Federal lands under Federal jurisdiction like in the western states. BLM does not operate in Texas.

There are an assortment of federal lands in Texas managed by agencies other than BLM.
I can think of four national forest in Texas: Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, Angelina and Sabine. They of course are managed by the Forest Service under the Department of Agriculture.
And there are a number of national parks in Texas managed by the National Park Service. Big Bend and Guadalupe Mountains are the biggest. But there are smaller ones as well. I can think of the LBJ National Historic Park near Johnson City, the Palo Alto Battlefield near Brownsville, and the Missions around San Antonio (not the Alamo) I believe are all managed by the Park Service.
