Please edit your post
to clean up the location information if you can. It currently reads: Uvalde/Cook's Slough, Uvalde County/Cook's Slough County, Texas, USA--which isn't terribly clear.

That said... this is a Bee Fly (Bombyliidae). It resembles Poecilanthrax:



Please wait for expert confirmation/correction on the genus, though.

correction
yes, Ken, Uvalde County at Cook's Slough...very nice 80 acre park...limitied use but more and more we are passing the word of how good it is for 'nature'....birds; bugs; reptiles and mammals...
