Yes, that is a queen, but not a genus I'm familiar with.

That looks like a Dolichoderine queen.  Maybe a Dorymyrmex sp.?


Current Species:
Camponotus fragilis

Novomessor cockerelli

Pogonomyrmex montanus

Pogonomyrmex rugosus

I see these queens so much now I have stopped collecting them. This is Dorymyrmex insanus, and I found a queen in Arizona last weekend so I am sure there could and obviously were flights in Texas this late in the year too.
