Many of the Aphonopelma species in the United States look very similar. Identification from a picture is highly unreliable. The flash can obscure or highlight certain colors making it look like a different species.

Texas tan is Aphonopelma anax - my pictures here:

Texas brown is Aphonopelma hentzi, which is the same a Oklahoma brown, Missouri brown, Arkansas brown, etc. - my pictures here:
http://gallery.tarantulas.us/gallery/v/thevez2/A_hentzi/

They look very similar.

I'm not sure about redbud, except that it hasn't been identified to the species level yet. It could be the same as one of the above or it could be a new species. They have't figured that one out yet, AFAIK.
