with Animantarx, a possibly autapomorphy for the two. Texasetes preserves a highly elongated coracoid and thick glenoid plate compared to its relative Animantarx. Coombs (1995) diagnose Texasetes as having a horizontally oriented ilium, an imperforate acetabulum, and "characteristically ankylosaur scapula morphology, including a prominent acromion and prespinous fossa." Due to the taxon being a Nodosaurid, the taxon was covered in large armored osteoderms with smaller ossicles in-between, as inferred by Panoplosaurus, and no tail club. Classification Coombs assigned the specimen to the family Nodosauridae, but Vickaryous et al. consider it Ankylosauria incertae sedis. Pawpawsaurus may be synonymous with Texasetes due to their shared age, formation, and close phylogenetic position, though lack of overlap prevents a confident answer and in Arbour et al., 2016's phylogenetic analysis however, Pawpawsaurus was found closer to Europelta and Texasetes closer to Edmontonia. Additionally, a juvenile ankylosaur skeleton from the Paw Paw Formation was found to be closest related to neither Pawpawsaurus or Texasetes, but Niobrarasaurus in the 2016 analysis. The 2018 phylogenetic analysis of Rivera-Sylva and colleagues is used below, limited to the relationships within Panoplosaurini.
