I need to get me a field guide I think :) In the meantime, any assistance on this "cute" one would be appreciated.

We would suggest
Argia translata, images in the guide here. Nice shots! Young males have those yellowish pale shoulder stripes. You actually have a great resource available at Texas A&M here

Thanks!
Had no idea about the change of pattern as they age, and I'd passed it up on the TAMU page at least twice due largely to this (and mine seems to have more color, again due to age perhaps?). I've got a lot to learn, thanks for the pointers!
