It is an [[Wikipedia:estuary|estuary]], fed by [[Carpenter's Creek]] and a number of small springs, and empties into [[Pensacola Bay]] near the [[17th Avenue railroad trestle]] and [[Wayside Park]]. ==Environmental issues=={{sectstub}} ==Bridges==The bayou is spanned in town places: to the north by [[12th Avenue]] (after it merges with [[Fairfield Drive]]), and to the south by the [[Dr. Phillip. A. Payne Bridge]], which carries [[Cervantes Street]] ([[US Highway 90|US 90]]).
The first bridge to span Bayou Texar was a wooden span constructed in [[1911]] at a cost of $3,700. The wooden bridge was 1,050 feet long and 20 feet wide.<ref>Pensacola Historical Society. ''Pensacola in Vintage Postcards''. Arcadia, 2005.</ref>
