What is this? Seems my mother got a trail camera for Christmas and captured this cat on their ranch in southeast Texas. I think it's a bobcat. What say you?

I think we can take it as a given that Taco says what he means.
End of story.

Thanks for the input.
Maybe Taco can tell that it is a female bobcat.

From the same place as the cat pics were taken at. Is this bobcat too?
Claws visible.

No, that's a small dog or coyote. Great example of the "X" test though:
In canines, you can make a clean X between the toes and heel pad:
vs, bobcat - the heel pad is bigger, and higher, so the X will cross over it.
This isn't 100% failproof, but adding the claw marks decide it for sure.
