Herp Conservation Unlimited (HCU) is somewhat a state herp association, interested in Herp keepers' legislative and regulatory issues in Texas. Formed in 2007, I think. You can learn more about HCU at: http://www.hcu-tx.org .

I believe many of their core/key members were previously somewhat involved in the Texas Herpetological Society (since 1939). The Texas Herpetological Society is primarily represented by academics and is probably more closely aligned with regulatory authority.
