I'm guessing...
...either annulatus or femoratus. Again, just a guess.

Matches annulatus specimen @ TAMU...
FWIW, there's a similar pale individual of Tetraopes annulatus in a unit tray in the Texas A&M Univ Insect Collection...

Great
images.
The spider looks like a "Dictyna".

wow
I can't believe you can id the spider from this image. That's pretty good. I was hoping no one would notice the spider and get distracted by it but I guess no spider goes unnoticed in bugguide (at least when it's you looking at the photo Jeff). I have to post more spider photos someday...

Looks
like "Dictyna" means it could be one of four genera consisting of 120 species (see Dictyna info page), though!
The small size, shape, web, and habitat all match. Was it near the top of the plant?
On the other hand, it could be an orb weaver, cobweb spider... but I would put money on my first guess.
