Filifera, Robusta, or Filibusta?

Hey friends,
Sorry to post a very familiar question, but can anyone help me ID these Washingtonias? I found them in Alamogordo, NM, (planted in front of a Taco Bell). I collected a dozen seeds and a few have germinated =)
Because of the thick, grayish trunk, my guess is that it's a Filifera. Also, unless these were planted since February of 2011, they survived a cold-snap that went down to -13, and I doubt that a Robusta would live through such cold.
I'm in Lubbock, TX, and I want to give it a try. So far I haven't seen one of these in town; all I've found is some *h*a*g*g*a*rd* looking Trachys... The west TX wind just wrecks them. I moved here from Manitoba, and I've always dreamt of living in a place that had palms; I'm going to make Lubbock that place!
Sorry, but these pics from Google Maps is all I have.
Thanks!
*UPDATE* Immediately after posting these pictures, I was dying for a Doritos Taco Loco!
