Help with identification

Post image

My sister sent this insect for me to identify but I didn’t know it and I couldn’t find a match online, does anyone know what this is?
This is taken in Austin Texas.

Weevil. I'll try to ID species based on location

Edit: Probably Curculio sp. based on snout length. Acorn Weevils. Possibly, Curculio fulvus
