Nice Tom. I think it's in the family Cosmetidae, which makes it a VERY interesting Harvestman. Most of the critters in this group are found in Central and South America, but a few live in the southern U.S.
This one looks somewhat the Purple harvestman (Vonones ornata), but the markings don't quite match up. It could be intra-specific variation OR it's perhaps a related species. (It might even be a NEW species. Texas does have some wierd stuff. :)
