I wouldn't be so quick there, just because "no on has ever CAPTURED or KILLED one..." doen't mean they could not be there. There are more exotic species of animals in TX than any other state. Why could there not be an escaped one? My wife is from TX and has seen one on their land they farmed when she was growing up, it was from a defunct circus that turned the animals loose.

Just to clarify, there are no black panthers (Panthera) living in North 
America. Texas has lots of mountain lions from the Puma genus. Black panther 
sightings are urban legends.
