    I believe all freshwater stingrays are illegal to keep in TX...There is one species though that I do keep seeing in people's tanks..

      Florida stingrays to my knowledge(which is limited on the subject) is the only legal freshwater stingray to keep in an aquarium in the state of texas. I could be wrong and there could be more, but i know the florida stingray is legal. Try fish gallery, ive seen them there before.

                  Also word of mouth is enough for the gamewarden to walk right in.

                    Facebook,Youtube,Photobucket,Letting your girl friend know it's illegal and then pissing her off one day and she snitches you out .LOL
                    Don't tell fish stories where people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish.

                              Both Xtreme and FG had/have fw flounders, but since you were looking for stingrays... Xtreme had 3 stingrays but 2 of them disappeared. They're the plain looking ones... The legal ones. Most fw stingrays are illegal in Texas with the exception of maybe one or two species (the plain looking ones).
