Those are the best pictures I can get of it. I wanna know what kind of snake it is before I release it, and where to release it.
Nerodia erythrogaster transversa (blotched water snake). Not venomous, loves the water. 
My Online Page (photograhpy, snakes, lifelist, etc)
I realize not all snakes of the same species looke xactly the same, but this one looks rather different from pictures I find of Nerodia erythrogaster transversa online
The water snakes tend to lose their juvenile coloration as they age. Here is a link for snakes in the Austin area:

Check out the juvenile blotched water snake pics and see if they look more similar. As adults, they become more uniform in color.
I released it into a pond nearby. Thanks for the help
