Yeah, which is why it's important to keep the separation of church and state. It's exactly the very thing that prevents religious laws being created in this country.
I'm not sure what exactly what has been banned in Texas (the link doesn't work for me), but it's not anything involving laws. Because as far as I know, there are no actual laws on the books enforcing Sharia Law.
Here in the US, "Sharia Law" is basically the same as "Biblical Law" for all intents and purposes. It's not an actual set of laws on lawbooks (again, talking about here in the US, not in Iran or any other theocracy), but rather a loose collection of social and cultural practices. It can change drastically from one mosque or family to another. Just like how every Christian church and family doesn't believe the same thing.
So, there's really no way to ban "Sharia Law" in the US as it's practiced here, as long as what's involved doesn't break any laws on our books. So, say if it's Sharia Law for a woman to cover her hair, then there's nothing to ban Muslim women from covering their hair as long as it's their choice. This would correspond to how Amish and Mennonite women are supposed to keep their hair covered. That's part of "Biblical Law", according to the Amish and Mennonites, through they may not call it "Biblical Law", it still serves the same purpose and is the same concept.
But when it comes to things like wearing the Naqib (the full face veil) in government IDs, that's banned because it violates the law that government IDs require clear face photos.
So, this is why it's important that we keep the Establishment Clause in the US Constitution, so that NO religion can create laws enforcing the rules or supremecy of that religion.

Sharia law is actually banned in all US states and territories, because Constitution is the supreme law of the land. Pretty much end of story.
