There is no specific limit to be considered "intoxicated". So while it may not actually be prohibited, it might as well be, since it will end up being a judgment call.

"Texas Penal Code §46.035 states it is unlawful for an individual who is intoxicated to carry a concealed handgun. The Penal Code defines “intoxicated” as not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance in the body."
