I tried to find it on www.whatsthatbug.com and a couple other sites, but I haven't had any luck yet. It's definitely a moth (of course). Possibly related to the oak moth? Is this the only photo you took of it?

I took a couple of other photos, too. I've just made them public in my stream.
Clay seems to think it's a newly created Tiger Moth.

It's a Southern Flannel Moth

They are venomous as larvae, not sure if they are in moth form.
Possibly the most poisonous caterpillar in the US.
Apparently, in Texas they are known as Asps when they are caterpillars.

That is the weirdest thing. Are those fangs?
