It was a total eclipse in places, but it was weird looking moon for early risers in West Texas. The photo shows what you might have seen this morning.
Here's the Space.com page about it. And here's someone's simulation of what it might have looked like if we were a little closer: Youtube video.
I saw this around 6am enroute to the airport - beautiful!!

Janie, originally it looked like the moon had that reddish look from a view through a smoky haze. It took a few minutes for me to remember that there was an eclipse, and it was much more obvious when that sliver appeared.
