Rat snake
I was thinking that, knew it wasn't venomous. My youngest sister discovered it on her outdoor furniture here in northern Grimes County, and texted the pic to our eldest sister rather than to me because she didn't want to have a text from me saying "Don't kill it".
Happy to report, by way of my eldest sister, that brother in law moved it away from the house. I figure the mice near litl sis's house are happier now.
