Ace for a Straight?

For some time now, I’ve been pondering whether or not an ace can be used to get a straight A-2-3-4-5. I tried to look for some possible answer on some rule books, but unfortunately I failed to even find one.

I believe an ace for a straight A-2-3-4-5 is possible in Gin, but somebody close to me insist that it can also be used in Texas Holdem. Is that really acceptable in Texas Holdem? I actually doubt it.

Hope to hear any feedback from you soon. Thanks!

Anthony,

An ace is indeed acceptable to use as part of a low straight. In face a low straight is referred to as a wheel. (A-2-3-4-5)
