Great spotting Jennifer. You might need to change your description, though :)
Not only are yellow-bellied sliders not found in TX, they also have large yellow patches behind each eye. Your turtle does not have these. Your turtles does have a notched upper lip with two cusps on either side, which is diagnostic for TX river cooter
