Elliot: Looks like a leopard frog rana (something), I'll do a little research on which one is in TX.:confused:

It is a northern (even though it was found in TX) leopard frog rana pipiens. They are found everywhere in the U.S. east of the rockies and from northern Canada to southern Mexico. Pretty large range.
P.S. Stefan: Got anyhing that looks like this where you are?

Could also be a Pickerel Frog. They are look-alike species.

I'd have to guess a Southern Leopard frog Rana sphenocehpala. It doesn't seem to have the right spotting pattern for a Pickerel frog, although they are found in the same area.
