I have many like him at my feeders, but the mature hummingbirds I see is either black-chinned or buff-bellied.

Since is a Ruby throat that's close enough for me.
Thanks for your trouble and time.

Don't think it's a Ruby Throat. Of any flavor. It's rare to see a Ruby Throat as far west as Texas, although they do look like they are extending their range so it's becoming more common.
I'm thinking a Female Broad Tailed or Rufous is more likely. Nice shot!
