The Texas desert tortoise is protected, so the only way you will find one would be to go through a rescue or turtle club. There's a group on YAHOO that a gal named Barbara started and they have an active club going too. However I think its called the DFW turtle club and that's no where near Houston. But maybe she can point you in the right direction.
