In its shell?
If you encounter a Texas Tortoise in the wild do your best to observe it at a distance. To defend itself....... A Texas Tortoise may stand up tall to look menacing and may force air out it's nose in a hissing fashion. But most definitely if you pick it up will urinate and or defecate on you. This is not only icky but dangerous for the tortoise as water is hard to come by in their natural habitat. Texas Tortoises get their moisture mostly from the foods they eat, if a tortoise empties it's bladder on you, it can dehydrate and die.
So in short...Texas Tortoises protect themselves by peeing on you!
