I am not sure on the ID at species level. I called it Drosera annua at the time of the photo, 10 years ago, but iNat does not like that name. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable on plants than I am can get this identified correctly. In any event this is the common sundew observed in east Texas as far as I am aware.

carnivorous plant, grows in the sandy areas of the Big Thicket area. It has a reddish coloration and the flat, wide leaves are covered with filaments covered with sticky drops. The small insects are attracted to the “nectar” and become stuck.
