I think Top Tropicals ships plants to all 50 states. I saw some nice smaller 3 gal plants of that variety there just before Christmas.They looked like 2016 grafted trees that I wouldn't expect to be root bound. They list Mango trees and some other plants as ship-able to California, which has very tight restrictions.
I would guess they ship Mango trees to Texas but call them to find out for sure. Not sure what type of cold temperatures they would go through in shipment this time of year,that might be a risk....

they are pretty easy to grow buy a box and just stick them in a pot of potting mix you can keep it by a window inside if it's too cold outside

Yeah...no, dont think that is a good idea at all.  Unless of course you are just having fun for $hits and giggles like sticking toothpicks in an avocado seed suspended in a glass of water on the kitchen window sill.

Real question is why you are wanting a Manilita at all?
