Ooh, yeah, good chance you may! I bet you can check iNaturalist to see which estuaries they frequent and possibly check those out and maybe you will get lucky!
How wonderful! When writing “Herping Texas,” Clint and I visited Texas Point NWR and had access to some ranchland at Port Bay near Port Aransas, yet we failed to find a diamondback terrapin. So I’m a little bit jealous while also happy for you. What cool turtles!
I live in western NC, but often visit the coast. Hoping I get to see one.

Yes, a lucky encounter and one I wouldn't have known to look for if TPWD hadn't been gracious to share. Hope you get to see one some day!
