I'm at my parents in New Mexico and this Lil buddy scared me... Is it harmless?

It is the Eastern Parson Spider, Herpyllus ecclesiasticus, one of the Ground Spiders in the family Gnaphosidae. They are not dangerous.

In New Mexico may be Herpyllus propinquus (Western Parson Spider). There’s a few more options out west.
