Here's a Leap Day record. I haven't worked hard at identifying this yet. I believe @greglasley also photographed this recently. UPDATE: This appears to be Ellabella editha which in theory shouldn't occur in Central Texas, but clearly does. One diagnostic mark distinguishing this species from the CenTex Ellabella melanoclista is the series of tufted black scales that can be seen sticking up on the FWs. See further notes below.

At black light.
