Trunk bark
The leaves look like a Pistacia chinensis which does grow freely in Texas. Are the leaves starting to turn red?

Not sure if the berries are a match, but the female trees do have red fruit that is similar. Yours look like they are turning red. Birds love them.
There is a Texas Pistache too, Pistacia mexicana. But I am not familiar with that 1.
Thank you. I’ll keep an eye but it is not turning yet. Whatever colors we get happen towards end of Oct.
I looked it up and you are absolutely correct. It is a Chinese pistache, which had been designated as a Texas Superstar. I don’t remember noticing changing colors but I will watch.
Thanks fir your help.
I’ll be darned. It is turning red.
Now you know why we ask you to post a pic of the WHOLE plant first...
That looks like trees that grow here. In KY, I never see fruit - but a lot of other compound leaved plants that look similar up close. Glad you got the ID.
