Try

XYZ = TableForm[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {4, 6}},
    TableHeadings -> {{"1\[Rule]2", "2\[Rule]3", "1\[Rule]3"}, {"q",
       "w"}}];

XYZ//TeXForm

\begin{array}{lll}
   & q & w \\
  \text{1$\to $2} & 1 & 2 \\
  \text{2$\to $3} & 3 & 4 \\
  \text{1$\to $3} & 4 & 6
\end{array}

XYZ // TeXForm // TeXForm

\text{
$\backslash $begin$\{$array$\}\{$lll$\}$
   $\&$ q $\&$ w $\backslash \backslash $
  $\backslash $text$\{$1$\$\backslash $to $\$$2$\}$ $\&$ 1 $\&$ 2
    $\backslash \backslash $
  $\backslash $text$\{$2$\$\backslash $to $\$$3$\}$ $\&$ 3 $\&$ 4
    $\backslash \backslash $
  $\backslash $text$\{$1$\$\backslash $to $\$$3$\}$ $\&$ 4 $\&$ 6
$\backslash $end$\{$array$\}$
}


As you see in your %-example the output Form is not stored in the 
%-result list

TeXForm[XYZ]
   ...


%//FullForm

FullForm[{{1, 2}, {3, 4}, {4, 6}}]

after converting the output cell to input form.
