Cap looks breakable it's mainly lack of forcing/lift mechanism 

That too, but I personally think that the cap almost made sure that the weak forcing will not be able to produce storms.

 

Lots of Storms into DFW though.

Missing some pixels where the tornado is but the ones before it goes missing is 96 mph outbound, 98 mph inbound at 1200 feet agl

Hail core is intense, may need a Tornado Emergency if it dares get stronger/head towards Salado.

EDIT: Is my calculation of 196 mph combined max outbound & inbound directions GTG Shear?

Yeah gate-to-gate shear is just the absolute value of adding the inbounds and outbounds

Iowa is waking up

So did the rotation on that storm in Texas disappear because of that very sudden left turn it seemed to take on velocity radar?

That left turn was it occluding (think of a low pressure system occluding)... it may have also occluded due to storm interference. Probably not a coincidence that that all happened at once.
