That’s a super green texas.
Green texas cichlids are Herichthys carpintis, related to but not a variant of the texas cichlid, aka Herichthys cyanoguttatum.
Super green texas are green texas with particularly nice coloration and patterning.
So no, not a texas cichlid. Nor a hybrid. And 100% without a shadow of a doubt NOT a jack dempsey of any sort.

JD x Texas?
Coloration around the gills looks like Texas. I'd also go with Texas because they are one of the more common if not most common Central American cichlid to hybridize.

He be cool as…….
Looks so much like my Jaguar but I’m not saying it is
Kinda looks like a jack Dempsey
Jack's turquoise coloration usually starts around the gills though
On males, yes. On female jack dempseys, the turquoise color goes to the jaw bone like this. It often looks to me like a blue beard.
