It's called 'Winecup' and also called 'Poppy Mallow' real name is Callirhoe. There are 2 common species of this, C. involucrata, and C. digitatta. Both are found in Texas and intermediate forms exist. White and pink ones are found there also.

Thank you for the response! I did figure it out as well, once I realized that the flower closes up in the cold, and found a few similar shots. But thanks again...
