This one is definitely O. vulgare
Color varies a lot, but the morphology is that of O. vulgare. Also, as far as I know, O. minor is not found in Texas; perhaps not even in Louisiana.

Could it be
A female Common Meadow Katydid (Orchelimum vulgare)?

We should also consider
Orchelimum minor (Lesser Pine Katydid) (because of the orange legs).
