Ya, seriously.

Texas or not, anyone wearing cowboy boots with a suit can't make clothing judgements. You'll be the best dressed man there, own it.

Are dress guns loaded? Perhaps with sterling silver bullets.

It will probably just look like you're snapping crotch pics

Last black tie wedding I went to in Texas they hung chandeliers from the trees, it was quite epic.

+1 for a bar every 5 feet.

Sounds like you're an honourable mention wedding party member, especially since you've helped him out so much sartorially.

Any werewolf guests? If so, insist on sterling silver bullets!

This is easily solved. Suit to the wedding, tux to the reception. Sartorially correct, shows you put a lot of thought into proper attire, and saves you from standing out at the ceremony.

Yes, this is probably the most correct way to deal, but it is also a pain in the ass.
