I live in South Texas and I know that the spider is a female because it was carrying a sack of eggs.

It appears to be a grass spider: non-aggressive, not dangerous to humans.

It's a rather interesting looking male - the exceptionally big chelicerae (fang-holders) and large, oval cephalothorax ('head' area) are quite striking, but I'm afraid it's not familiar to me. It appears to be some variety of wandering hunter, though, and they can often deliver a powerful and (depending on the type) unpleasant bite. Where is this from? The only spider in North America that this reminds me of is the common yellowish sac spider Chiracanthum, but this just looks different somehow.

I looked up some pictures and the closest thing I found was "Southern House Spider" or Kukulcania hibernalis.

My son seems to think this might be a Vinagroo. He was bitten once and said it puts the taste of vinegar in your mouth Not sure if this is spelled right.
