Is there a law in Texas prohibiting blank firing guns?
Under Texas law you can not carry on or about your person a handgun. You can carry a rifle or shotgun. So the question is can you carry a blank firing handgun?
Texas does allow you to carry on or about your person a handgun in your vehicle without a license if:
1 it is concealed
2 it is your vehicle or a vehicle under your control
3 not committing any crime other than class c traffic
4 legally able to possess the handgun
5 not a member of a street gang
So would a blank firing handgun be considered a handgun?
"Handgun" means any firearm that is designed, made, or adapted to be fired with one hand.
"Firearm" means any device designed, made, or adapted to expel a projectile through a barrel by using the energy generated by an explosion or burning substance or any device readily convertible to that use.
So as long as it can not fire a bullet or be " readily convertible to that use".

Why did Mexico colonize Texas?
When Mexico won its independence from Spain in 1821, all the territories it possessed included Mexico, most of Central America (Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica) as well as today's US States of California, Nevada, Utah, Texas, Arizona, New Mexico and parts of Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas and Wyoming.
Considering such expanse of area, it was natural Mexico wanted to settle its territories as soon as possible. It however, had an extremely low population at the time (6-12 million). Therefore, Mexico relaxed its immigration policies, thus allowing American settlers to help populate the northern territories.

How does someone get licensed and bonded?
First I would need to know licensed and bonded for what. There are different steps for different jobs or certificates. I suggest a search through your Secretary of State's website for specifics on this. To be licensed and bonded as a Notary in the State of Oklahoma, you send an application to the Secretary of State's office with an application fee and once you are approved you are then sent a letter of inquiry to get bond insurance usually in the amount of $10,000.00 or more depending on the states requirements through any insurance company offering this coverage. Total cost of fees and bonding is about $250.00 in Oklahoma. This is just for a Notary certificate, other certificates are more and require a much larger bond, depending on what the service entails.
