Taking sand from the beach in Texas or any other state can get you a fine if caught.
However if you were to put a tiny bit of sand in a small bag then it's unlikely you would get caught but if you took a bucket of sand from the beach it would be easier to get caught.

Pure sand, such as a small container of decorative beach sand, is usually allowed.
Under the Texas Open Beaches Act the public has the free and unrestricted right to access Texas beaches, which are located on what is commonly referred to as the "wet beach," from the water to the line of mean high tide.
