I am not a lawyer, but I don't think so. The first clause says, "A municipality may not adopt regulations relating to the transfer, private ownership, keeping, transportation, licensing, or registration of firearms, ..."

The exception applies only to "use."

I would expect that if this law were used at all, it would be to prevent people patrolling the neighborhood in armed groups and that sort of thing. I have not heard of that happening in Texas.

It will all be moot soon. The U.S. House and Senate have both passed bills prohibiting states and municipalities from confiscating firearms during emergencies. They have to be reconciled in a conference committee, and no doubt signed by the President before the next hurricane. See http://www.nra-ila.org/ for details.
