Trapdoor spiderlings? I would love ID help on species. Around 50 of them in a bush, dispersed into the grass.

Trapdoor spiderlings? I would love ID help on species. Around 50 of them in a bush, dispersed into the grass.
Brownsville, Cameron County, Texas, USA
November 19, 2020
Size: Less than 1 cm long
Found on small bush (approx. 2 ft tall). Around 50 young spiders, some in a clump. They had made a large web area, and as I observed they began to travel down from the bush on strings of web to the ground. They moved between blades of grass until I couldn't follow them any more. It rained heavily a few days ago. I am thinking they are young trapdoor spiders, but I don't know the species.
