Why do citrus growers not ship to Texas?

Is there something from the Dept of Agriculture restricting entrance of citrus trees into Texas?

Yes, as stated it is due to citrus infections (canker etc). Currently Florida is not allowing citrus to enter or leave the State. Texas and California normally do not allow it to be shipped in.
