Size: 1.5 "
I apologize for the poor image quality, my camera would not cooperate with me. I've looked through as many wood-boring beetles as I could and can't figure out which species this is. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Moved from Frass. Keeping this for Texas data point until a better image comes in. Then off to Frass!

Mallodon dasystomus
More precisely, it's a representative of the tribe Mallodontini.
It's probably a male of the Hardwood Stump Borer Mallodon dasystomus (Say, 1824) due the wide shape of mandibles and pronotum, but I'm not sure...
