Pics of the tortoise would help a whole lot in identifying the species.

It looks like Manouria Emys Phayrei. Contact Vic Morgan he will be the best guy to help you identify Black or Brown, he is also the most recognized expert should it be a M.E. Phayrei!
Look for DefyingDestiny.org. This is Vics site. He has some good photos there as well.

I think I jumped the gun on this one... I was looking at the beak and not paying close enough attention to the underside of the shell.

I agree, either desert tortoise or perhaps a Berlandier's (Texas) Tortoise. Where did you find it acquire it? That would help too.
Take care,
