So, as I understand it the US passed a law years ago that declared the airwaves (TV, and Radio) public so they could regulate it. As I understand it the social media companies and the Internet in general are not under that same umbrella.

Since Twitter, Facebook, etc. are private companies and not under FCC guidelines they can prohibit whoever the hell they want.

Correct me if I'm wrong. Cause I am going off of memory here.

You're about 75% correct, which is good enough to know that Texas is full of crap. No way this survives a first amendment challenge.
