Dark colored snake. About 2' long. Smooth looking scales.
It was found near a grassy field.
Maybe a black rat snake (Pantherophis obsoletus)? Two feet is small for those, but it could be a young one.
It could be a venomous cottonmouth or a non-venemous yellow-bellied water snake or something else. Here is handy website that is limited to Texas and includes Texas range maps, photos and names. http://www.herpsoftexas.org/view/snakes
