Some species are illegal, some aren't. A few species that you can own are Capuchins, Squirrel Monkeys, Tamarins, and Marmosets. They are the smaller kind though. There are many pet monkey owners in Texas. But monkeys cost A LOT of money and can be very destructive and messy. They cannot be trained or housebroken, even if they spent their life in captivity. If you want to buy a monkey, you have to be able to stay home at all times, and give it lots and lots of care.

Texas has a partial ban on pet monkeys. Which means that some species are banned and others require a permit. So.....it depends on what species of monkey one is wanting to keep as a pet. There are actually many pet monkey owners in Texas. The most common kept as pets are Capuchins, Squirrel Monkeys, Tamarins, and Marmosets. I am certain these are not banned as they are the smaller species. Now you have to inquire with the city of Houstan and you community as well. Monkeys can be regulated at any level of government.
