Can you keep a lane snapper in Texas?

Yes, with limits

Statewide

Open year-round

8 inches and up
total length
Daily bag
per person per day

8 inches, and genuinely no daily bag limit at all — Texas does not fold lane snapper into a reef-fish aggregate the way Alabama, Louisiana and Mississippi do.
