Found these on lake Travis just west of austin, They were about 10 feet higher than the water line on the hill so i took them home and the area flooded the day after. Ive been keeping them feeding them pinheads. They are so small im not even positive they are T’s lol my vision is awe full. Any Ideas, A Hentzi slings maybe?

Definitely not tarantulas, although they may still be a Mygalomorph of some kind. Neat looking whatever they may be.

Can't see the direction of the chelicera. The Shape of the spood looks at least mygalomoph, but I don't see any urticating setae so i also don't think it is a tarantula.

Aren't theraphosids and tarantulas the same thing?

Probably Euagrus sp., though it'd be a stretch range-wise. One species ranges into "south-central Texas" according to BugGuide, but I'm not really sure how far that is.
