Answer 11

It could be a southern black widow juvenil. There is also the brown widow and red widow (Florida)

Answer 12

Spider? Kyle, I think that's a personal problem.

Answer 13

My guess would be a brown widow or a juvenile black widow.

Answer 14

I'm not sure, but just go to Google and search "Texas Spiders." There might be a list with pictures. When I wanted to know what kind of spider was in my house in Illinois, I searched "Illinois Spiders" and I found it. (The spider in my house turned out to be a brown recluse >_<)

Answer 15

Be very careful. I don't know what spider it is. There are very poisonous spiders in Texas. Several years ago a woman died from a spider bite. She put her slippers on, without checking and was bitten by a spider. She died. Always check your shoes, slippers etc. before you wear them. Good Luck.
