This small, ~4.5" wildflower with ~3/4" yellow blooms was found in some developed prairie remnant in Fort Worth. What is it, exactly?

Do you remember what the leaves looked like? With Brassicaceae the leaves are very important for IDs. Did the leaves look like these? Annual Wall Rocket. Diplotaxis muralis.

The seeds pods aren't right for Diplotaxis muralis or tenuifolia.

Thanks very much all. I googled it (images) and senna pendula is spot on. It also travels under the name cassia pendula with common names Easter cassia (in south) and Christmas cassia (in north). The speed with which plants are identified on this site is a credit to the skill of the members. Thanks again, John

Throwing out Erysimum capitatum for consideration, or something in that group. ETA Not sure about the flower size, although not all have large flowers. (E. inconspicuum, but not so common in Texas and not appearing to be a foliage match.). I cannot really see the foliage in your photo clearly, and I don't know that wildflower group well.

Calyptocarpus vialis is a native, most commonly found in Texas. I have seen two populations in Arkansas, but it is rare this far north.

Carol provided the correct ID. You must have had rain, because the normal flowering period is June - August. Straggler Daisy is one of our smallest composites. It is most often found in Texas, growing in lawns and disturbed ground. The BONAP distribution map is available from this link.

Not familiar with that one but online pix look a match. Pods are right.
