I went back up and looked at the fruits again.

Do you see that white stippling on the fruits? That's what one sees with the variety Eva Purple Ball and another one whose name I can't remember right now.

Eva Purple Ball is German in origin. Many Germans settled in TX after they immigrated to the US, Worth can confirmthat if needed.

So is it possible that what you have as Texas Pink is perhaps from seeds brought to the US originally by a German family?
