P. texanus
This is definitely P. texanus, but I haven't seen enough of these to identify this as being definitively one sex or the other. I don't see any swelling in the palp, but with so many hairs on it, it's difficult to say for certain. Maybe somebody with more experience with this species is familiar with the different variations of it.

Genus Phidippus
It can be hard to tell the species of some Phidippus, but this one appears to be P. texanus. If so, this might be the first male image of the species currently on the guide.
