Found crawling on the floor in great room.
I think this is a black footed yellow sac spider in the genus Cheiracanthium https://bugguide.net/node/view/456163
Yes, this looks like it. I’ve never seen one in my many years. Thank you so much.
Actually it does not look like that type of spider. It’s two front legs were long. Also, it had four white spots on the belly
Cheiracanthium is known for its long front legs and their black feet. I was looking for a nice yellow one with a plump abdomen like your one, but I failed to notice that the one in the link I included was missing its front two legs. – Sorry – If they are attacked and grabbed by the leg, spiders can detach the leg. It can grow back again when they molt.
– What do you think of this one. – I am not sure which of the species you have.

Yes that’s definitely the right ID
Thank you!
It looked exactly like the one in the photo I posted. It’s body did not have a point at the rear of its body
