Longbows, compound bows, or recurved bows:





there is no minimum draw requirement.


devices that allow a bow to be locked at full or partial draw are lawful during any season when lawful archery equipment may be used.


Crossbow:





Any person may use a crossbow to hunt game animals or game birds (except migratory game birds) during a general open season or Eastern spring turkey season. Telescopic sights are lawful.

I believe the law in Texas used to be a 40 pound draw minimum. If you read the Texas Parks and Wildlife regulations as currently written it states there is no minimum poundage. But as far a making an ethical shot and ultimately harvesting a deer I would not recommend anything less than 40 pounds. Always remember what you're trying to havrvest and the distance of your shot ... be an ethical hunter and good luck.
* 45Lb is the best choice.* Keep your shooting distance to a maximum of 35 yards.*
