Yes. If the water moisture in the atmosphere is just right, you can see a rainbow anytime of the day. It is possible to see full circular rainbows or halos around the sun in the daytime, or even multiple ones.
Rainbows usually form when sunlight is refracted and reflected off water droplets in the atmosphere, creating the spectrum of colors. At noon, the sun is directly overhead, so the angle at which sunlight hits the water droplets is not conducive for rainbow formation. The sunlight needs to hit the droplets at a specific angle to create a rainbow, which is why they are typically observed early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
It is noon when both the clock's hands are on twelve and the sun is overhead.
It is less likely to see a rainbow at noon because the sun needs to be low in the sky, around 42 degrees or lower, for the sunlight to produce a rainbow in the opposite direction. However, it is technically possible if specific conditions align, such as during winter when the sun is lower in the sky or in tropical regions.
I think that the sun is only ever directly overhead the equator at noon on any day of the year.
Yes, a person living at the equator will see the Sun directly overhead at noon on two specific days of the year during the equinoxes (around March 21 and September 23). This phenomenon occurs due to the Earth's axial tilt and the Sun's position relative to the equator.
It never is overhead at noon because Texas is not in the northernmost point where the sun passes directly overhead at noon.

At noon.

overhead
Noon, because the sun is directly overhead.
Not quite directly overhead, but close. Thats why it is called high noon.
The occurrence of a rainbow at noon typically indicates that there are rain clouds nearby that may bring more rain in the near future. The angle of the sun at noon can create the conditions necessary for the formation of rainbows when there are rain clouds present.

The sun is never overhead at 42 degrees north.
