Yeah, after I posted it I thought about that so I put it up on a forum and am looking for some other opinions. Thanks for the help.

Hello Payton,
Looks like a juvenile Western Cottonmouth to me. Get with some of your herp buddy’s in Texas. You may want to reconsider. However, I could be wrong. I'm just going by the photos.
Best regards,
Daniel
