I originally posted on the Texas Gardening forum, and it was suggested that I try here. I have pics in my original post:

I think we may have borers and/or ants in our maple. Is there anything we can do to save it?
Anyone know what's wrong with my tree?
I just went through your link, and I agree with all the advice you've already been given there. Your tree is showing serious stress, the borers are voracious and doing heavy damage, and I probably would not want such a damaged tree that close to my house even if you can save it.
But before you give it up, ask a local certified arborist to inspect it in person and see if there's any hope. We can only tell you so much from 1000 miles away here on the forums.
Good luck --
Guy S.
