Comments & ID Thoughts
My guess... is maybe a Texas Brown tarantula or some variety of wolf spider, but not quite sure. We've seen a few of these around our house, and under the old siding when we were remodeling.

Hi. Looks like a male wolf spider, a guess is Hoga lenta or tigrosa species. not dangerous, mishandled they can have a hefty bite.
I just catch them and put them in the yard, Easiest way for me is by hand.

Your tarantulas are Aphonopelma hentzi, usually black/brown, maybe with a tan carapace 1/2 inch to 6 inch.
