This may be Cycloneda "emarginata"
Which is a recent discovery in TX, but I don't have any idea what the larva looks like.

just a suggestion...
I've been ID'ing Cycloneda larvae all day, and this looks a) very much like a Cycloneda species, and b) completely unlike the three species established in North America. There are many more species in Central and South America, and I found a larval photo from Chile that looks an awful lot like yours. Scroll to the bottom of this page.

I'm not saying that it is that species, but the similarities are striking. You're about as close to Central America as North America gets, with the huge seaports at Galveston and Corpus Christi nearby - perhaps this larva's parent(s) wandered or hitched a ride north.

updated link
The link to the Cycloneda larva in Chile, C. germainii, is now here:
http://www.coccinellidae.cl/paginasWebChile/PaginasOriginal/cyclonedagermainii.php

This is still only a "boy that looks similar" speculation, but I wanted to update that potential species link.

Thanks, Abigail! I'm as curio
Thanks, Abigail! I'm as curious as you are about what my bug might be :-)

That's ...
... a tantalizing thought! I followed that link, and the larva does look very similar.
