I'm unable to find the law that says that. Are you able to source it for me?
Check this. This is the current hunting regulations from Parks and Wildlife.

This quote appears near the bottom of the page in the section titled: "It is unlawful to:"
hunt in a subdivision on lots 10 acres or less in an unincorporated area of a county if prohibited by local ordinance. Contact local county clerk and ask about §235.022, Local Government Code.
So they are directing you to contact your county clerk. The way I read this is the state gives counties the ability to prohibit hunting on less than 10 acres if they so choose to.
