Hi, Brandon,
there's a good digital guide to US moths but there are hundreds of species and I don't know any of them. I suspect that Texas may not be well covered anyway as you are heading towards the warmer climate, presumably with more species than further north.
The first one has some resemblance to pink-striped oakworm moth (Anisota virginiensis) and the third looks a bit like some of the Macaria species (edit: no, the wing shape is all wrong!). But don't take my word for it. Have a look at: http://mothphotographersgroup.msstate.edu/Files/Live/Living32.1F.shtml and trawl through the plates.
Good luck,
Ken
