American lady seeks like the best guess. Thanks the help!

Vanessa annabella should not be found in Texas on a regular base and is missing the typical white spot on the forewing. In my eyes this one is Vanessa virginiensis, American Lady (or American Painted Lady). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Painted_Lady To compare Vanessa annabella: http://www.butterfliesandmoths.org/species/Vanessa-annabella

You might want to double check the pictures, but it looks like west coast lady to me
