Currently, there is no TX state permit - but there will be soon.
Right now, it's a town/county/city basis.
If the city you're moving to has a law against it, you have to live outside city limits, as long as the county doesn't have a law against it.
HOWEVER, as I understand it, that all changes early in '08.
A despicable state representative (Harvey Hildebrant) snuck a law through around due process and got it signed in that will require permits for the big 5 constrictors and all exotic venomous.
Luckily, as the permit plan stands right now, the "Recreational Controlled Exotic Snake Permit" seems to be pretty much a technicality and could be bought anywhere hunting/fishing licenses are sold for 20 bucks a year.
Here's what's current:
