Salt, the unknown weed in your post #47 looks like one we call gypsywort.
There are many common names for it (confusing!), but the genus is Lycopus and there are a number of species that look very similar. Mint family, mostly found in wet areas - ours grows here with peppermint where the river meets the pond. It doesn't have a minty smell. The mint looks similar but there are subtle differences, for example the leaves are not as serrated.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lycopus_americanus found throughout North America. There are other species that might be in Texas too.
