Ya know what's weird about boththose, is they sort of display characteristics of both.
Most Texas juveniles have less of a "chevron" pattern on their head, and less number of blotches too. Also, emoryi is more known for a tighter number of blotches and they can many times be at a slight crooked angle as in this one too.
I wonder if it doesn't have some geneflow from each?, this could be a possibility, because most of the time they are much easier for me to accurately identify. Another thing is Texas hatchlings usually have darker blotches too.
The more "H" pattern to the blotches is another trait more indicative of Texas Rats..LOL!
These guys have me sort of wondering if they are not crossed to some extent..hmmm.
