We were thinking Hypocrisias
but we don't know if that is in Texas. Will keep looking.

Hypocrisias
Nice. Yes the pictures are very similar. BugGuide does not show the genus in Texas but the moth photographers group shows one right here in the tri-county area where I took this. There were perhaps half a dozen of these feeding in the same patch of flowers.
