cristula
You should also get C. coma in this area, but the subgenital plates on coma are a slightly different shape according to Hamilton's manuscript.

Thanks
I'm wondering if this other nymph and adult are misidentified as harrisi, or if they should at least be moved up to genus. Any thoughts?

those
I can't really make any judgement on those one way or the other, I personally would not ID those to species level without an underside view, since there are several similar looking yellowish species in TX.

genus
yes, probably best. Could it be that species? Sure. Could it be other species like cristula or coma? Sure. Would need to see the underside to make a call.

I edited my comment (about moving those images up to genus) at the same time you were replying, haha. Will probably move them in the next day or so.
