|discussion=<p><i>Prunus texana</i> is endemic to south-central Texas from the Edwards Plateau southeast to the coastal plain.</p><!--
--><p>Despite the peachlike fruits of <i>Prunus texana</i>, DNA evidence supports its placement among the native American plums (J. Shaw and R. L. Small 2005). The leaf margins look like those of no other North American species of <i>Prunus</i>. The teeth project perpendicular to the margins and are capped with disc-shaped glands.</p>
