Aphonopelma moellendorfi???
There is a possibility that this is a female A. moellendorfi, known only thus far from a few males from Western Jeff Davis Co., to Del Rio. It does not quite look like others in the area: A. hentzi, A. gabeli, or A. moderatum.

I have more pictures and video.
If it would be helpful to see a certain part of the spider, I can see if I have a picture with a different view. I could also share the video but I don't think I can do that on here.

A. hentzi
A professional reviewed the photos and info and says he has seen A. hentzi like this in that area.
