It is legal to have a pet squirrel in Texas. It is not legal to have dangerous animals in Texas. You have to get a permit to own certain animals, but not squirrels.

No, the average person can not keep a raccoon as a pet in Texas. A permit, such as a zoological permit or game farm permit is required and these are very difficult to obtain.
