yes and no.

The odds are this is not a macroscopic animal or vegetative fossil,but a structure called a concretion.

However,concretions can contain fossils

Welcome to the Forum. 

 

Where in Texas did you find it? 

 

It looks most like a concretion. Calcite lined concretions are common in the upper part of the Eagle Ford Group rocks in central and northern Texas. 

 

Put some acid/vinegar on it to see if it fizzes. Does a steel knife blade scratch the light colored veins?

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.

Is It real, or it's not real, that's the question!

I think the first piece looks like a small septarian nodule.

The other pictures are not good focus, so can  not say much about them.

 

If You want a good id, You have to provide good pictures.

The first specimen has infilled septarian propagation cracks, so it could be well a septarian nodule, as Tony said it already. :)
