I was wondering if we need a permit to keep a cb eastern box turtle in Texas? I was thinking about buying a hatchling but wasn't sure about this.

No, Easterns are not native to Texas so no permits are needed. The only boxie restrictions in Texas only regard Three-Toes in that you are only allowed to keep up to 6 Three-Toed box turtles per person and if you sell any you have to provide proof that they came from captive born parents.
