welcome from San Diego ca. west tex. i bet half the members here are from Texas, cant help much with the point id, i could guess and show how little i know lol but i wont, there are a lot of type identification sites on the web, just type in Texas point typology and something will come up that should help you , try and get quality shots in natural light at good angles so the guys and gals here have a good overall look, and i am sure someone will be able to ID your stuff, dont be afraid to id it your self, then ask the experts if you are correct, a lot of knowledge here , look forward to seeing Texas stuff,, if all else fails and you cant find anything , look up adena type

Material, Dimensions,Location and associated point types found with each Point help to determine what it might be.Also need to consider the very important aspect of Flaking Style which require good Pictures.
