It looks like a lavender trumpet vine. If you didnt plant it, you might want to get rid of it because it is invasive.

Thanks, but it is not a vine. Individual stalks from the ground Stalks are approximately 30 inches tall, flowers are a little over an inch long

That is a wild violet. In Missouri we have several kinds, so TX probably does too. We have the southern violet and woody violet. they only last a short time in the spring and are not invasive.

I used Garden Flower Identifier application and they say Gladiolus italics Mill. Common name Corn Gladiolus or Field Gladiolus.

I have something similar and I believe it could be Corn Gladiolus or Field Gladiolus as mine does resemble gladiolus but the blooms are more spread out on the stalk.

• I cannot tell for sure from your photo but if it does have several blooms on each stalk then its a good chance it is Corn Gladiolus or Field Gladiolus.
• It is described as a "weed" or field flower.
• Here are a couple of photos to help you decide if this is like yours.
