Depends what you mean by legal. 30.06 says

It is an exception to the application of this section that the property on which the license holder carries a handgun is owned or leased by a governmental entity and is not a premises or other place on which the license holder is prohibited from carrying the handgun under Section 46.03 or 46.035.

I don't remember where, but Texas law defines a governmental entity as a state, county, or municipality, or their subdivisions, IIRC. The Federal government is left off of that list.

This says they cannot prohibit in a NPS unit. Does this mean I can also carry inside a building in the park if the state says its ok to?

I believe the way it works is: If there is no law saying you that "CAN NOT DO IT"... Then you can do it.

But state laws don't override Federal laws, and there is already a law in the Federal Codes prohibiting carrying a firearm into buildings where Federal employees work. I wouldn't count on being able to carry in the buildings, yet. Maybe things will be cleared up before Feb 10th. As always, IANAL, IMHO, YMMV, etc.
