Not cotton. I saw the same plant at my daughters which is also east of Seguin last week. A thin vine growing up a mesquite bush.

Balloon vine

Yup, love in a puff

Looks like withered balsam gourd. They are hard, round and red a little smaller than a ping pong ball in the spring and summer. That’s my guess anyway

And balloon vine it is!
