Probably a milk shake snake (autocorrect) or a King snake.

Unfortunately a fairly rare (and protected) species. Listed as 'threatened' in Texas.

I understand completely. Not condemning her actions in the least. Too bad it was not a more common snake.
If a person reasonably feels an animal/reptile constitutes an immediate threat to themselves or others....I have NO problem with them 'dealing' with it.
IF authorities were ever to become involved....I trust they would consider the circumstances and apply 'discretion' as deemed appropriate.
And if I ever need a snake killed....I'll call on your Daughter, Man...she got that thing good......!
