Any idea what kind of bird this chick is (in TX)?

If you could post your general location, that would be helpful in identification of this bird. Because you are at this site, I can assume North America.

I've ruled out house sparrow as they do not have streaks on their fronts. Maybe a type of finch. It seems pretty young to be out of the nest, but hopefully a parent is nearby.

That big thick bill would indicate finch or grosbeak to me.
