I currently live in Maryland but I will be moving to Texas within the next year. I want to be licensed in both states. How do I go about doing that?

Hello and thank you for asking your real estate question to the community today!
I was not sure from your question, but am assuming that you are not already licensed in Maryland, is this correct?
Unfortunately, neither of these two states share reciprocity with each other, which would have made your situation a bit easier for you. You can however, still obtain a license in both states but will need to complete all of the licensing requirements for each states.
We do have a page that lists all of the current licensing requirements for Maryland, found at the following link, maryland license requirements.
Once you obtain your MD license, you might get lucky and bypass the TX real estate exam. They will determine whether or not the MD exam is comparable to theirs and go from there. Either way, you will need to meet their other requirements which you can find here, http://www.trec.state.tx.us/licenses/salesapp.asp
Let me know if this answers your question, or if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.

I know the requirements to have a license in TX is to be a legal resident of TX. Will I be able to obtain the license even though I’m not a resident?

Yes, absolutely. Texas does allow non-residents to obtain their real estate license. As I mentioned previously, you may even be eligible for not taking the Texas real estate exam if you are already licensed in Maryland.
You can verify the non-resident license regulations for Texas here, http://www.trec.state.tx.us/licenses/OutOfStateLicensing.asp
