the astronomy or geology area at your local college/university should be able to help you out.
but why do you think your rock is extraterrestial in origin?

That is really a geology question. An astronomer could tell you about a meteor you saw in the sky but if you found a rock on the ground that might be a meteorite, you need a geologist to verify that. Try the geology department at Rice University.

Your local college or university probably has someone who could help you identify your rock.

Check out any book by O. Richard Norton and compare it with pictures in his books. That will tell you a lot.

Show it to a college's geology department.

Any nearby university should have a geology department... I'd suggest there.

bring it to scientists. I'm sure they have no problem whacking you over the head and taking your rock. ;)
