1. Maverick County, Texas USA
2. 6/18/2018
3. Found her as she was digging her founding burrow on the side of a Pecan Orchard (grassy with trees)
4. I don't have a ruler, sorry. (she's BIG)
5. Redish color
 

I'm VERY new to ant keeping, but i think she might be of the Pogonomyrmex species. They are VERY abundant here.
