I would say that this tree looks like the Texas Mulberry trees that I know of in the wild. Definitely has the small leaves of Texas Mulb.

This is almost certainly a white mulberry (*Morus alba*) and not a red mulberry (*M. rubra*) — Texas mulberry (*M. microphylla*) is a whole other thing, but I assume that’s not what you were referring to
White mulberry can be weedy/invasive in some situations — not that I’m telling you to get rid of it (or keep it, for that matter)

I think it’s probably a white mulberry, it is worth noting white mulberries are not only invasive, but they hybridize with our native red mulberries.
Red mulberries have a more saw tooth edge on their leaves (as does the leaves of the Texas mulberry [https://www.wildflower.org/gallery/result.php?id_image=14843](https://www.wildflower.org/gallery/result.php?id_image=14843)), the edges of your leaves look more like the white mulberry.
