How interesting, I had to look that one up- It's native there. Check out all the names people use for it (from TX Native Plants Database):
Chittamwood, Gum Bumelia, Woolybucket Bumelia, Gum Elastic, Wooly Buckthorn, Gum Woolybucket, Wooly Bumelia, False Buckthorn, Shittamwood, Ironwood, Coma Bumelia
I think I like "Gum Wooleybucket" best.
Anyway I think Crape Myrtles do really well in that area, and of course they are lovely.
I found this link from the Aggies, I had no idea there are so many cultivars:
