You might try the DFW Herp Society. There's a forum link under the "herp societies" section here.
Meanwhile, someone here might be able to identify it. We'll need 1) length of the skin (assuming it's whole), 2) whether the scales are smooth or keeled (ridges running down the center of each scale), and 3) whether there is any discernible pattern visible. If there's any of the snake's original pattern on the discarded skin, it will most likely be very faint at best, so you'll probably have to look very closely to see it.
Given those three things, we'll at least be able to narrow it down.
