Good choice. And just because it's not a Potamotrygon spp, doesn't mean it's legal. Yes, Tx banned all South American freshwater rays and this doesn't fall under that. HOWEVER, Texas also has a law banning captivity of native animals, which this falls under.

So, not a freshwater ray, but still illegal.

Atlantic rays "imported" from S. America are legal. Just as in CA where the Garibaldi (state fish) is illegal to catch and keep, those "imported" from Mexico are legal to keep in CA. Once these fish are in a hobbyist tank, no paperwork is required beyond a retail sales receipt.
