I have no idea what it is. First picture is before it came off / popped. Second is fecal matter that was collected before the blister popped, I also examine the fecal matter which is the picture of it stretched out. Last is the blister/tissue that came off. Can someone please help me in identify this.....

I would try to use epsom salt on it, If its a blister thing. I had it before but on a red texas and i used api on a hospital tank.
 
Well it was more like a blister with a sack under the it. The blister could have been a attempt of the immune system to combat the infection/pariste. I will conduct the following. Large water change, treat with easpom salt and I also have Api general cure which I will treat orally and prazipro is necessary.
 
When my texas had it, I immediately move it on hospital tank due to a concern of that blister and the red blood that oozes out. My LFS suggested epsom salt plus api for 7-10 days was saw a progress after 4-5 days. The color faded a little bit tho.
 
I've treated the tank about 2 months ago using Api for 10 days. my FH had white string pop and didn't want to eat. Maybe I didn't kill it off 100% the first time. Red blood also oozed out when the blister came off. Did your Texas ever show signs of infection again.
 
Jus a blister and the anal part looks like it had a hemorrhoids so i brought to my LFS and the guy gave me api gen cure plus another one then epsom salt.
 
Sound similar to what I have going om. By any chance did he tell u what it was
