Macarini
I assume you are thinking of D. decorata. I went to my Ferguson Fascile for this one and still do not have a good answer for you. Ferguson does not say that G. decorata is frequent in Texas and states that it is more a mountain area dweller. The host plant is Willow, and I don't know if you have that in your arid, rather low area. The only D. decorata listed in the Lep. Society Database for Texas was collected in the Davis Mountains, which would jive with the Ferguson comments.

I am more inclined to think this is another one of the Rindgea S. signata/Rindgea cyda complex which have to be separated by DNA or dissection.
