Tringa semipalmata
Adults have gray legs and a long, straight, dark and stout bill. The body is dark gray above and light underneath. The tail is white with a dark band at the end. The distinctive black and white pattern of the wings is a common sight along many North American coastal beaches.
On a beach near Mustang Island State Park.
I agree with Liam, Willet. 3 things I used to rule out the Yellowlegs, Greater Yellowlegs has slightly upturned bill, yellow legs and it's range shows that Texas would be it's winter residence
