looks like Neoporus shermani
there are six Neoporus spp. on Karl Stephan's Oklahoma list(1), not all of which do I have images for, but N. shermani seems to be a good fit.

Can't tell species
without provision of body size and a ventral shot...Even so, I think species ID would still be difficult as there are many similar-looking TX species...a much better solution would be to send the specimen (if collected) to an expert to get it dissected and examined in hand/under a scope. It will be nice to get a photo voucher!

I don't think this is Neoporus
Might consider Heterosternuta diversicornis
