I visited north east Texas several months back, and had the joy of being mobbed and drained of blood by the prettiest iridescent purple mosquitoes ever. Any idea what kind they were? i didn't get any photos of them :(

Probably Psorophora cyanescens? The other purple species in Texas that I'm aware of is not a blood feeder.
