I draw 5.3

This omitted the rest of my post. Hit an obstruction @50 yards before marker 5. @15-20yards in the channel that dropped me from 5kt to zero. Dangerous. Depth showed @8ft at the time. Who do I report this to? Will have to haul out to check for damage.

I added this to the GBCA Galveston Bay Obstruction Map:  https://gbca.org/ObstructionMap .  Take a look at the location and send me an PM if it needs to be adjusted.

Looks pretty close.

Someone shared a Navionics screenshot showing that it's charted there as well...

There has long been a "hump" between 5 and 6 due to the silting in of the channel. Given the extremely low tides Saturday, it's not surprising you found it.
