Euglandina texasiana overall has less pigmentation than the other species in the genus, and because of this it is sometimes known as the "Texas pale glandina".
E. texasiana is native to southern Texas in the United States as well as northeastern Mexico. It is restricted to the Lower Rio Grande Valley in Texas but can be found in the coastal lowlands of Mexico from Tamaulipas south to northern Veracruz, including eastern San Luis Potosí and Nuevo León.[1]
