The Drassyllus I am aware of in Texas is D. creolus. I used our guide to verify it!

Thank you for the great contribution!

What guide did ...
you use? BugGuide lists 46 species in the genus and the listed range info isn't state specific.

Looks correct to me
Hi,
This does appear to be a Drassyllus! They are in the family Gnaphosidae, a sort of "catch-all" group with uniformly colored ground spiders. All of which are docile and harmless! This is a great specimen to show others what a Drassyllus looks like.

Thank you and have a great day,
