Spider ID

[cat_named_noodles]

Hi there everyone! So this little female spider has taken up residence in a glass jar on my porch. She now has about 50 spiderlings in the jar with her and protects them, wiggling her abdomen up and down and bouncing in the web when disturbed. I know these aren't the best photos, but she just wouldn't cooperate! Any ideas on what species she may be? I am at a loss! We live about 10 miles outside of Wimberley, TX, about 45 minutes SW of Austin and 45 miles north of San Antonio, if that helps .

And her babies:

Thanks!
