Default Can you hunt crossbow in Texas?

I live in Tennessee, but have just started to go to Texas hunting with my father-in-law.

Thanks
Greg

EDIT: I think this is the answer I seek..
"As a hunting device, the crossbow is as effective as archery equipment and is legal in Texas for game animals and non-migratory game birds during the general season. (They’re illegal for migratory game birds.) Archery can be a great choice for hunting feral hogs and other exotics that have no closed season. During the archery-only season for deer and turkey, however, a crossbow hunter must purchase an archery stamp and also carry a physician’s letter indicating that he or she has an upper limb impairment that would make it extremely difficult to draw a conventional bow."

General season...humm does that include gun seasonas well?
