They are very big. About the size of my hand in length and I've seen two now. My cat brought one in from the Texas border region.

I’m fairly sure it is a centipede. However, the picture is too fuzzy to make out the exact species.
You can try comparing with the many recorded observations of centipedes around Texas: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?place_id=18&taxon_id=49556
