Some counties do, some don't.
From the TPWD site:
hunt in a subdivision with lots 10 acres or less in an unincorporated area of a county if the commissioners court, by order, prohibits the discharge of a firearm or the use of archery equipment in such subdivisions. (Contact local county clerk and ask about 235.022, Local Government Code.)

I'd recommend you call the non-emergency number for your county sheriff's office and just ask them. They'll be more than happy to give you the information you need.

From http://www.mocosheriff.com/
Non-emergencies & General Info. - (936) 760-5871 or (281) 364-4200
Its a roll of the dice whether the info will be accurate or not though.
I agree. Unfortunately, law enforcement agencies are not a reliable source of information on the law.
