I suspect:
Texas Brown Widow Spider (Latrodectus geometricus)
That’s what it looks like to me, but hard to say from the blur
I think you’re right. It has the dark bands on the leg joints, along with the brown colour and rough body dimensions of a brown widow.
These ones are much less dangerous than a black widow and may be displacing black widows from their common habitats.
I was able to see an orange figure on it as well when I took a closer look, thanks guys!
