Wil, they used to have some live ones at Bass Pro in Grapevine. They were behind plexiglass but as much stuff as Bass Pro and Cabela's have I would give them a call and see if they have a stuffed one.

I would imagine the Fort Worth and Dallas zoos have them, maybe the Dallas Aquarium, the Rainforest Cafe.... Think giftshop ;)

Roy,

Yes, I remember those being over there. I need to photograph one not behind glass and I need the rattler to by erect (i.e. perpendicular to the ground). I remember a Cracker Barrell or some place having a big one but I just can't remember where I saw it. Thanks!

Call Winchester gun store in Ft. Worth. I think they have one on display.

Try other gun shops, and call some taxidermists.
