No.
Open carry is only for CHLer. He can get out of state Texas CHL but that takes quiet sometime.

If Ma. is Massachusetts, AND he has a Massachusetts CHL (or a CHL from another state Tx has reciprocity or a unilateral proclamation for). I don't know of any provision in the law that would prohibit it solely on his not having a Tx CHL. According to the DPS' website, Tx has a unilateral proclamation with Massachusetts (Tx recognizes the MA CHL as valid, however MA doesn't honor Tx CHL's).
However, I'd suggest that he reviews Tx law before CC/OCing here; our laws may vary from what's allowed/prohibited in his home state.
And of course, if I'm wrong on his ability to carry here under reciprocity/unilateral proclamation, someone please correct me.
