Environment be damned or don’t be damned. Because you like them or because you don’t like your neighbors … what animals would you like to see locally that are not there ?

Pangolins! I’m not sure how well they’d survive in Texas, but if they find fire ants tasty, they might be able to make a dent in the population (they’re invasive themselves). Also, being present on another continent might help ensure their survival, especially the species currently critically endangered.
Edit: if they don’t have to be extant, then troodontids! They were supposedly smart little raptors. I bet they’d make great pets c:
