There are alligators in Texas?

You're kidding me, right?

I saw one in a small park off of Memorial in Houston. It is a marsh. The gator wasn't big at all--fox-sized maybe.

They are all over East Texas and they literally walk here from Louisiana! They turn up in lakes, swimming pools, ponds and stock tanks. I have a friend that works at the zoo in Tyler and they had one that was radio tagged in Mississippi and they caught it in Lake Palestine, thats a 400 + mile walk.

The Sabine River, on the Texas/Louisiana border, is full of them, as is other bodies of water in Texas, including sightings in Sam Rayburn Lake.

We have alligators on our ranch in Brazoria County Texas, in Oyster Creek and in our bass fishing pond.

The town I live in Anahuac calls itself the Alligator Capitol of the US. We have GatorFest every year to coincide with the hunting season. People bring in the biggest catch as well as all kinds of gator food. Its a blast, y'all come visit some day.
