Looks like a grass spider. By the way virtually all spiders are venomous, just most are harmless to humans but not to their prey.

Great shot, I don't have any idea what it is but if my wife saw it, it would be dead.

Looks like a brown recluse spider to me. I’ve been bitten by one before and lost half my backside to its bite. I wouldn’t mess with it except to squash it.

You have baby tarantulas? I wouldn't worry about this spider. I'd be worried about where momma tarantula is!

How big was it? It does look like a wolf spider...but an immature one.

To me it looks like a common cellar spider. I find these in my yard, in dark places, and of course in the cellar.

Ted, I looked up "Grass Spider in Texas". Wikipedia came up with Agelenopsis, or the American Grass Spider. I think that is pretty close to what you are looking at. Good photo, by the way! In my house he would experience an transformation from Grass Spider to Squished Spider! LOL

I see spiders in my house every now and then: jumpers and sometimes a baby tarantula but I've never seen this one. I did a little research and got a bunch of wrong answers; one even said it was a wolf spider, no not hardly. So what is it?
Good chance it is a funnel web spider, Agelenopsis, sp. To id most accurately, one needs to have a face on photo of the eyes. By the way,that photo is on another site. Your post?

Wolf spiders have six eyes - here is one I photographed in Spain
