That plastron is pretty flat, so I am inclined to agree.

Desert tortoises are pretty hard to determine male/female until they get a bit bigger. Your tortoise looks like a Texas tortoise female to me.

A photograph from above of the tortoise's carapace would help to clarify whether it is a Texas tortoise.
