Someone else narrowed it down to a slightly different subfamily which appears to match the one I saw. http://bugguide.net/node/view/635814/bgpage Need to remember bugguide.net in the future. The site I was trying to use offered a handy quick form to fill out to try and narrow it down, but claimed no green and red insects matched what should be in Texas.
