Well I also live in Texas and was wondering the same thing and it turns out that Texas is one of the partial primate banned states(i.e. some species of monkeys are banned)
I am pretty sure that the only species of monkeys that are banned (as pets) are orangutans and or chimpanzees .
But Capuchin monkeys are aloud .
My cousin and her friend are both 32 and they both live in the same apartment and they both have their own White-faced Capuchin Monkeys . I love it when they come over with them , Ozzy and Izzy. Ever since they came over when I was 7 I have been wanting one (they both live in Texas) .
P.S.
Your Welcome .
I'm From the UK and i watch this show (its a documentary) and these ppl from the UK go everywhere (including texas) and rescue monkey used as pets so they mite come and see you.
From all of the research I have performed, there is no law... restriction... or permit required to own a breed of monkey known as Capuchin.

Yes it is definetly legal to own a Capuchin Monkey in Ilinois. Although i do not recommend having a monkey as a pet. they are very difficult to take care of. if you are connisidering having one you may want to do ALOT of research!

There are strict laws relating to the ownership of exotic animals throughout Australia.
Is it legal for you to have a brain.. Who the hell would want a capuchin monkey.. They bite scream and you would devote your whole life to raising them. There are no breeders in Canada only the U.S. and it's illegal to import them. Have fun with all the scares they leave on your body flick face.
yes, it is il legal to own a monkey as a pet anywhere in canada,
There is no statewide legislation in North Carolina as to whether you can have a pet Capuchin monkey. There are counties which have banned having monkeys as pets however, so to be sure about where you live, check with your local Wildlife Resources Commission.
no
Umm....no. Utah is one of the 9 states that has banned having a monkey as a pet
