No idea but I'm fairly sure we're in Plantago.

eta P wrightiana ????

Blakrab, you have four similar-looking Plantago species in central Texas. It isn't P. helleri, because that has widely spreading hairs, mid-stem. It isn't P. patagonica, because that has linear-lanceolate bracts beneath the sepals. It may be wrightiana or hookeriana. If wrightiana, the leaf blades are glabrous on the upper surface. If hookeriana, leaf blades are woolly-pubescent on the upper surface. The leaf detail in the photos isn't good enough to lock this down, but leaves with woolly-pubescence usually have a gray cast, and yours are green. I agree with Floral - Plantago wrightiana is a good candidate.

^ Yes, the leaves do look smooth on top, so it does sound like Plantago wrightiana (Wright's Plantain), then. Thanks all!!! BD
