@pokypinkdog
According to Wikipedia vagrants are only occasionally spotted in Texas, so we suspect yours might be a relative. Possibly the Broad-winged?

Is it a Little Sparrowhawk?
@Lorraine
Wrong side of the pond, but ours is indeed a hawk. Here's the Wiki-page of the Little Sparrowhawk for comparison:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_sparrowhawk?wprov=sfla1

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broad-winged_hawk?wprov=sfla1@mybirdcards yes that looks more like it 🤎

@mybirdcards actually I think they are probably Red Tailed or Coopers Hawks after reading the description
@pokypinkdog Yes, that's probably more likely as these are both considered common birds of prey throughout the US

(See alt text for clue) #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ️🦜Last guess ... Roadside hawk? Only I thought they were considered smallish birds of prey.
I give up after that

@Lorraine
Thanks, Lorraine. Spot on! We've updated the file to read "A relatively small bird of prey.." This brings it in agreement with its Wiki description. Something we usually check before posting ️🦜 -

What bird is this?
(See alt text for clue) #whatbird #mybirdcards | #birdsoftheworld #birds ️🦜@mybirdcards It's an accipiter, almost definitely. Looks a bit like a juvenile Sharp-Shinned or Cooper's hawk but the head and feet look off.
The only other accipiter I know is the European sparrowhawk. But those are grey. -

It's not in genus Accipiter, but does belong to the family Accipitridae. More precisely, it belongs to the subfamily Buteoninae
