Will we be allowed to cross a checkpoint within the state of texas with a pet ? Ive never taken my pet!? -

We are live in Edinburg , Texas and we have to pass a checkpoint , Falfurrias, Texas to get to San Antonio ,Texas. Are they going to ask us for any documentation or do they require it to be in a carrying cage? can he have it in our laps or asleep in our laps? I dont want to have to go back 100 miles!;o

If you are simply traveling within Texas, sure, you an take your pet with you in your car as you like. There are no restrictions If you cross the Mexican border, you need a shot record and health record from your vet, but to travel within the state you need nothing special.
