Having lived in TX I know exactly what this is. YUK! (but nicely captured in pixels).

Being a native Texan, I've seen lots of these! They are really prehistoric looking!

Once, we saw one dead along the road in north TX. It was laying on its back, drinking from an empty can of Lone Star beer. Would have given anything for a camera.

I know it's an armadillo, my husband nicknamed it the possum on the half-shell.
