Texas bow-legged bug nymph!
Only species in the genus in Texas, and the nymphs are popping up all over right now. I think we're in the second generation of the season, I've been finding the nymphs all over.

The main bugguide page has a bunch of nymphs shown side-by-side to illustrate the color variations: http://bugguide.net/node/view/39759
