Cocoa, 
It’s an orbweaver in genus Eriophora. It could be either E. ravilla or E. edax. The visual characteristics are strong enough for a guess. https://bugguide.net/adv_search/bgsearch.php?taxon=24093&location%5B%5D=TX The link should bring you to Bugguide.net’s reported sightings of Eriophora species spiders in Texas There is more info about the genus on their site.
