Actually the the armadillo in question is Dasypus Novemcinctus, the Nine Banded Armadillo. Novemcinctus mexicanus is a slightly different critter. The 9 Banded 'dillo is the Texas State small mammal, the large being the Long Horn Steer.

The 'dillo is not our only armor plated Texas animal, we have an armored lizard for the state reptile, Phrynosoma Cornutum, the Texas Horned Lizard or "Horny Toad" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_horned_lizard
