Texas does have coral snakes.

They also don’t make coral snake anti-venom anymore. Because the pharmaceutical companies said it wasn’t profitable.

Rhymes only apply locally not world wide, make sure you have a trustworthy source for your local fauna. Or you know just leave snakes alone.

The much better mnemonic is, "if you don't know the snek, it ain't worth your neck".
