Moved
Moved from Five-lined Gray.

Note, the discal spots on the hind-wings are hollow. That and the wavy lines on the fore-wings rule out Glena quinquelinearia. This is a difficult genus, especially in Texas.

A suggestion
I think that what I posted here is a shabby edition of this moth. My initial guess for mine has been Brown Bark Carpet Moth but it clearly was wrong, and no other ID has been proposed. My search has now led me to #6452 Glena plumosaria as a real possibility. Perhaps some expert will look into it. Anyway, your Nice Geometrid may be closer to finding a home as well.

It may take some time
There are about 600 unidentified Geometrids plus another 250 unidentified Ennominae, so it may be a while.
