If my residence is in Texas, but I have a 1099-MISC that was issued from a company in California does that count as making money in another state?

No, what matters is where you were physically located when you earned the money (or what state you are a resident of). 

If you were in Texas when you earned the money (for example...working remotely or selling goods or services online) then that is not considered making money in California. However, if you were physically working in California (or any state other than Texas) when you earned the money then that DOES constitute making money in another state.  Making money in another state is based on your physical location at the time the money was earned not necessarily where the paying company is located (or where the address is that is located on the 1099-MISC).
