Ligia baudiniana
Awesome - this is Ligia baudiniana. It differs from the other Ligia in TX, Ligia exotica, by having shorter uropods and a more compact lighter colored body. Great find! And in case you're interested, I'd love it if you'd post this to iNaturalist where I curate our Oniscidean collection - we've hit 35 species from the US but are still missing Ligia baudiniana http://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=1&taxon_id=84718&view=species
