You may process your application for Texas while you are living in MD. If you are going to be moving to Texas, then the compact license will not apply for you as you will be moving from MD. The Compact License is only valid if you retain your legal residency in that state. If you move, then it will not be valid any longer.

If you do not hold a license for MD at this time, then there is no issue with the Texas application at all. But you need to be aware that the license issued for Texas if you can legally work in the US, will only be valid for in Texas only, it will not have the Compact part attached to it until you are legally a resident of Texas.
