having a firearm shipped into texas from another state requires an FFL(read gunshop) to recieve it.

Yes and no. Handgun, yes. Rifle or shotgun, not necessarily.

If you buy a rifle or shotgun from an out-of-state FFL and the transaction takes place at their registered place of business, they may ship it to your home address, you can ship it to your home address, or you can simply bring it back to TX with you. (FWIW "registered place of business" means not at a gun show or on the web.)

Texas has no laws restricting these types of transactions. You are welcome to bring in as many guns as you want from out of state. There's no permit, registration, or reporting required.

Handguns, on the other hand, must be transferred through an FFL under federal law.
