Can you legally own a pet monkey in Amarillo Texas?

Some species are illegal, some aren't. A few species that you can own are Capuchins, Squirrel Monkeys, Tamarins, and Marmosets. They are the smaller kind though. There are many pet monkey owners in Texas. But monkeys cost A LOT of money and can be very destructive and messy. They cannot be trained or housebroken, even if they spent their life in captivity. If you want to buy a monkey, you have to be able to stay home at all times, and give it lots and lots of care.
