`C-h f LaTex-mode' explains:

| `tex-mode-hook', and finally `latex-mode-hook'.

So you shouldn't need to add paragraph-indent-mode to any other hooks.

Also, note that the hook is called latex-mode-hook, not LaTeX-mode-hook.

Finally, if you want to turn a minor mode on, call it with a positive
argument.  If you don't specify an argument (as above), the mode is
toggled and thus will be turned off if it happened to be on already.
