I like your set up!

Here is what Colorado says:

Scopes or any sighting device using artificial light, batteries

and electronic gear are prohibited during muzzleloading seasons.

So, it is a no-go there.

Texas says under RESTRICTED METHODS:

Artificial light of any form that casts or reflects a beam of light onto or otherwise illuminates a game animal or bird may not be used as an aid to hunt, except battery-powered scoping devices that project a light or dot only inside the scope; pin sight lights on archery equipment; or laser sighting devices used by legally blind hunters, or hunters who have a documented permanent physical disability that prevents them from using traditional firearm sighting devices.

I can't tell for sure by reading that if it would be legal or not. Not sure if they are talking about only laser lights for legally blind or if all of those artificial light conditions apply only to legally blind people. I think it is only referring to the laser, which would make your set up legal.

However, maybe my eyes just haven't gotten that bad yet, but I have found a fiberoptic sight that I can see in very low light. The Tru-Glo globe. Has multiple circles of wrapped fiberoptic bands. In the middle of the day, it is acually too bright and it comes with a cover that reduces the light. I can still see it well enough for a shot where I can still see the target.
