San Antonio , 
Ok gosh I uploaded the one with the emoji on it. Ignore that obviously. Looking at the real spider it top right.
Dang! I thought there was something really unusual going on in this photo!
That’s funny 😀 , I cropped out the spider emoji. This appears to be a Tarantula (Aphonopelma sp.) which you may have already guessed, they can be difficult to narrow down with even a clear image. Maybe in time someone who knows what’s most common in that particular area will chime in.
