However, as Kar98 stated concerning Corps of Engineers property, according to the COE, Title 36 CFR 327.12 states....

Explosives, firearms, other weapons and fireworks.

The possession of loaded firearms, ammunition, loaded projectile firing devices, bows and arrows, crossbows, explosives or explosive devices of any kind, including fireworks, is prohibited unless:
(a) In the possession of a Federal, state or local law enforcement officer;
(b) Being used for hunting or fishing as permitted under §327.8, with devices being unloaded when transported to, from or between hunting and fishing sites;
(c) Being used at authorized shooting ranges; or
(d) Written permission has been received from the District Engineer.

Handguns
Q: May I carry my handgun into a state park when I am traveling?
A: Our rules state that you may not show/display or fire your gun in a state park. If you have a valid Handgun License, you may carry your handgun in many state parks. But even with a license, handguns are not allowed in parks that are leased from the federal government. Check with the park before you go. Refer to Texas State Park Regulations for specific regulations - 59.134(d).
