Yeah, just because the state of Texas doesn't let you get a CHL with a .22 doesn't mean that a .22 isn't, you know, a gun that can kill people, if with more difficulty than smaller mammals.
I'm not getting a CHL because I'm fairly sure I could not harm anybody even if I had absolute knowledge that they had the motive, means, and opportunity to kill me. I just couldn't. That doesn't mean I can't make nice little holes in targets, though. (And I have used, and if I had the will to do so, have the ability to use, the pistol my husband plans to carry once he has a CHL.)
