Texas banned species

[Catfishguy721]

Hey everyone.
I've been looking for any type of snakehead here in Texas and have had no luck due to them being banned. Is there a list of what aquarium fish are banned in Texas and in the us? I have seen other people from Texas with snakeheads and pirahnas in their tanks but there's no telling what is and is not illegal. I just wanted to know so I can avoid getting anything too ilegal

also, you need to go to the TX parks and wildlife website to get up to date info. the list on here is out of date.

It seems like every cool Fish you could get is on the restricted list. Too many idiots out there who would release them into the wild I suppose

The Texas list is the current 2013 list.
