Pleistocene Texas Mammal Tooth Help

Definitely a rodent tooth.  Arvicoline rodents have teeth with cusps that look like successive triangles, just like the ones in your picture.  Just based on size...I would guess something like a muskrat (Neofiber sp. or Ondatra sp.) but it could be one of a myriad number of voles/lemmings.

Thank you. Looks similar. I know there is no way to tell age. Lots of Pleistocene items but modern as well.
