Found this in the September in South Texas. Are these fairly common in this material? Its the only one I've come across. Thanks for looking!

They used petrified wood in many places in the US, some of it is really pretty stuff and some of it was hard to work...

East Texas is famous for it's fossilized Palmwood points. The material is pretty enough that I think it's the state rock of Texas.

Where you are, its a fairly rare material, and like someone else just said, it ranges from extra fine to rough stuff to work. Yours was probably washed from the Rio Grande formation which has cobbles of different types of agates and petrified wood.
