I think this purple flowers are a Belladonna or trompillo. I know it's related to the potato family.
Poor thing. It's the last bluebonnet of spring by the side of the road. Still blooming bravely amid the yellow flowers.

a few more flowers
I'm being a bit lazy so thought I'd add more flowers. I have a few more photos of odds and ends and will get those posted soon. I can't figure out the exact coreopsis the flowers are - I suspect there is a mixture. I will narrow it down more shortly. I think the majority of them are Golden Tickseed or some relative but I haven't made a final decision.

The yellow flowers look like they're greenthread, Thelesperma filifolium. The others could be western horse nettle, Solanum carolinense; that's pretty similar to silverleaf nightshade, Solanum elaeagnifolium, which is the trompillo you mentioned.
Thank you! I need to quit being so lazy. I used to pull out the books immediately but seemed to have gone into a decline. Still working on getting good photos with my little camera.
