Maybe them Austin snakes are a little more civilized than country snakes. Cottonmouths here are bitey, just have to be aware when you are in their territory. I'm on a plateau where you never see a cottonmouth unless its by total accident. 8 mile south of me on the river they are thick and they all seem to be ill mannered. The largest cottonmouth I ever saw was at the Fort Worth zoo. Head the size of a big mans fist. Sr. trip---years ago. We got to go to six flags and the zoo. First time I ever saw a live concert. Charlie Daniels in the Six Flags amphitheater. Most there were rednecks like us but a few were burning calf rope. 

Burning calf rope?

 

is this some redneck reference to marijuana smoking ?

Assuming you are in Texas or the Southern US, banded water snake.

I was going to guess Diamondback Water Snake.  They look very similar.  Somewhat surprisingly, they are different species of Nerodia.

The Diamondback has a slightly more western range than Banded, but both seem to be present in Texas.
