The Sabine shiner comprises three disjunct populations (Figure d), relatively stable populations in a number of rivers in the Gulf Coast lowlands, from the San Jacinto of south‐eastern Texas to the Sabine basin in south‐western Louisiana (Heins, ; Hubbs, ; Hubbs et al., ; Schaefer, Duvernell & Kreiser, ; Thomas et al., ; Williams & Bonner, ).
