Platycryptus undatus
The bodies of these spiders are rather compressed in the vertical direction, which allows them to hide themselves under the loosened bark of trees and in other tight places. They have a prominent pattern on their abdomens which may make them more difficult to distinguish on mottled surfaces.
Spotted at Lake Conroe.
Sometimes called Tan Jumping Spider. Menemerus bivittatus does occur in Texas but has a slightly different color pattern. https://bugguide.net/node/view/27204
