Hey peejtrav32, thanks for the insight. I always just called them all wolf spiders. I learn something new every day.

they are harmless but bite hard, im scared sh*&less of spiders, but they serve their purpose i guess...i used to play with them when i was a kid and they bit me ever once in awhile. try matching one up with a praying mantis in a big jar and watching them go, its fun to watch.

I'd like to repeat: funnel-web spider, not a wolf, not a grass. Harmless and very wary of people.

With all due respect to our friend from Down Under, there are different types of funnel-web spiders, folks. Look it up. And, yes, they are indigenous to Texas and very common. There are 85 species of funnel webs native to the United States, and they are found in every state. Here is a link --> Funnel-web The Australian Funnel-web is the most notable and most dangerous, but it isn't the only one. I will retract the grass spider comment--some folks do refer to funnel-webs by that common name.

Plenty of funnels here if you want me to post you one over to compare it to what you got 
A funnel is similar to that of the silver dollar, or a fimble, minus the legs
