Our local chapter of the Texas Master Naturalist maintain a photo gallery of species with their name and found other examples of White-striped Longtail skippers
Good work! I was in the neighborhood but just wasn't finding the correct genus. Project Noah proves yet again that it's a great way to learn new things. :-)
My first guess was Urbanus proteus (http://bugguide.net/node/view/439), but I'm not sure because your butterfly has that striking white stripe down the wing. I just don't see it on any listed on BugGuide (the link I shared above). Hopefully someone who knows more will see this one. Great photos, by the way! :-)
