Answer 2

It could be many different types of spiders.  However, based on how often they are seen and asked about, I would say a bold jumping spider, /Phidippus audax/.  They are harmless.

- there is no white on the black widow and they are not anywhere near the "most common".

Answer 3

Black widow spiders are most common black and white spiders that are in Texas. They are quite dangerous.
