Venomous looking Spider -
Loxosceles reclusa
Cass County, Texas, USA
July 18, 2009
I found this venomous looking spider in a bucket of floating fish food. It was missing a leg. If I had to guess, I would saw it was a Brown Recluse.

recluse
You are correct it is a recluse spider. Texas does have the brown recluse, so you may have the species correct as well. See guide page
