Go to the Texas Department of Natural resources website and see if they have a list of native species. That's where I would start.
1 Platydoras costatus, 1 Agamyxis pectinifrons, 2 Pimelodus blochii, 1 Baryancistrus Sp.(L081) 1 Baryancistrus Sp.(L177) 2 Pangasius sutchi,8 Corydoras leopardus,4 Corydoras metae, 4 Corydoras pulcher,12 Corydoras habrosus,6 corydoras sp.cf.aeneus,4 Ancistrus sp(3),4 Parotocinclus jumbo

Of course, the pleco's from the San Antonio river isn't a native species, it's a offspring from escapees from (I think) the San Antonio Zoo.
