I suspect:

Texas Brown Widow Spider (Latrodectus geometricus)

That’s what it looks like to me, but hard to say from the blur

I think you’re right. It has the dark bands on the leg joints, along with the brown colour and rough body dimensions of a brown widow.

These ones are much less dangerous than a black widow and may be displacing black widows from their common habitats.

I was able to see an orange figure on it as well when I took a closer look, thanks guys!
