Where can I find petrified wood and palm wood in Texas?

I'd check river banks, lake shores, and road cuts in the coastal plain.  There was one place near Choke Canyon where the ground was literally covered with petrified wood...

Petrified Forest.\n\nIt is a National Park in northeastern Arizona that contains one of the largest collections of petrified trees in the world (formed by the process described in your question).  It is right next to the Painted Desert - a area of multi-colored ridges and hills.

Petrified wood is a type of fossil: it exists of fossil wood where all the organic materials have been replaced with minerals (most often a silicate, such as quartz), while retaining the original structure of the wood. The petrifaction process has occurred underground, when wood became buried under sediment. Mineral-rich water flowing through the sediment deposited minerals in the plant's cells and as the plant's lignin and cellulose decayed away, a stone cast was formed in its place.\n\nMinerals such as manganese, iron, and copper in the water/mud during the petrification process give petrified wood a variety of color ranges. Quartz crystals are colorless, but when iron is added to the process the crystals become stained with a yellow or red tint.

They exist, but you'll probably have to look in the Southwestern United States to find them. They're not exactly common anywhere else.

Any Hardware/lumber store ie. Home Depot or Lowes.  Ask for landscaping timbers.  most have rounded sides so they are safe.

Padre Island used to be decent.  Cedar Bayou is one of my favorites.  Baffin Bay and North Sticks are also usually pretty good.

TEXAS TREASURES\nSam Houston's great-granddaughter to present\ncheerished Houston artifacts to Memorial Museum\n \nA collection of unique Sam Houston artifacts and family heirlooms, including a jeweled brooch presented to Houston by Santa Anna for sparing his life in the Battle of San Jacinto, will soon have a new home at the Sam Houston Memorial Museum. \n\nThese priceless Texas treasures, owned by Margaret Rost, Houston's great-granddaughter, will be presented to the museum on March 2, as part of a series of local Texas heritage celebrations commemorating Houston's birthday, Texas Independence Day, Texas Flag Day and Walker County Pioneer Day. \n\nRost and several family members will be honored guests at these historical celebrations which begin at 9:30 a.m. at the Gibbs-Powell House and include an 11 a.m. Houston gravesite ceremony, a 12:30 p.m. luncheon at the Walker Education Center, and a 2:30 p.m. "Toast to Texas" event at the Sam Houston Statue and Visitor's Center. \n\nThough the Rost collection will be presented to the museum on March 2, Patrick Nolan, museum director, said the artifacts will not be on display at the museum until they have been catalogued and thoroughly examined by museum curators. Other that the jeweled brooch, items in the collection include: \n\nAn American Indian purse, a watch and a green felt hat that belonged to the Texas hero; \nNumerous heirlooms including glass goblets and a coffee pot that matches the silver service already in the museum's collection; and \nA collection of Houston correspondences, many of which have never been published. \nThese historically significant items were inherited by Rost from her grandmother, Antoinette Power Houston, Sam Houston's youngest daughter. The gifts, Nolan said, "come to the museum through a strange and exciting set of circumstances." \n\nRost's grandmother, Antoinette, was born in Huntsville, in Houston's Woodland Home, during Houston's tenure as a U.S. Senator. "Nettie," as she was know in the family, was 11 years old when her father died in the now famous Steamboat House, also in Huntsville. Four years later, Antoinette's mother, Margaret Houston, died of yellow fever in Independence, Texas, and the orphaned daughter, along with the younger Houston siblings, moved in with her older sister, Nancy. At age 25, Antoinette married Dr. W.S.L. Bringhurst, who later became a classics professor at Texas A&M and was briefly the university's acting president. \n\nTragically, all but one of Antoinette's children died very young. Only one daughter, also named Antoinette, survived to adulthood. The younger Antoinette married and had one child, Margaret. By the 1930s, due to death and divorce, all three generations - Antoinette, her daughter Antoinette, and Margaret - were living together in San Antonio. \n\nOn a fateful day in March of 1932, the three women were traveling by automobile to Houston, Texas, to visit the elder Antoinette's ailing brother, Andrew Jackson Houston, the only other surviving child of Sam Houston. On the way they were involved in a serious accident that claimed the life of the older Antoinette and critically injured the younger Antoinette, who died two years later. \n\nAt age 13, the orphaned Margaret left Texas to live with family friends in Cincinnati, Ohio. She took with her the wonderful collection of family memorabilia and artifacts inherited from her grandmother. That collection, which has remained in her possession and includes many items never before seen by the public, will be turned over to the museum on March 2. \n\nNolan, and museum curator, Mac Woodward, recently traveled to Ohio to meet with Rost and take an initial inventory of the artifacts. Among the collection of Houston letters they found a correspondence that sheds light on one of the more interesting love stories of Texas history. According to Nolan, "when Sam Houston first came to
