Yes
but E. fulvovestitus Schaeffer is also known from Texas. It has blunt pronotal tubercles and glabrous areas on the elytra. The picture does not show the tubercles and I don't see glabrous areas so I'd go with E. pauper.

E. pauper does look very close
and the range/size look good! Thanks for the help!

Fur Coat?
Sorry, Maury, but I don't know. I depend on -v- for beetle ID :) I can't help but wonder WHY would it need a fur coat in South Texas? It's 103 in the shade on the Alabama Gulf Coast!

Thanks Robert!
that is hot for AL! We are a little more used to the heat here in south TX. 106° here yesterday.
