Does vagans fly in Texas
or is this possibly meridionalis?

Vagans does fly in northern Texas, but I didn't pay attention to how far south Bexar county is. I don't believe they fly that far south, and you're probably right with meridionalis. Good catch.

Dasychira
Tough genus, but it looks to be a rather olive Dasychira vagans.
