Does anyone recognize this wild vine? It's been growing up my wood fence for
the last 2 years.

Yep. Grows wild out in Wimberley area. Couple of em in backyard now. One
is bigger than your picture after mowage last year over it. Am letting that
area grow native foliage, not mowing that area this year.

Thanks Johnny - I know it's wild, but I was sort of hoping to learn it's
name :)

Looks like a trumpet vine to me..... If you don't want
it there now is the time to get it out of where it is at.
Can get very large and be very invasive.

Thanks BJ, pretty sure it's not a trumpet vine. I have one of those.
I was hoping that somebody with a better knowledge of Texas wild plants than
me would know for sure because I couldn't find it in my Texas Wildflowers
book and pix I found online didn't quite match.
I searched again today and found Pepper Vine - Ampelopsis bipinnata with pix
that look a lot more like my plant than some other pepper vine pix I found.
I think this could be it.

Terri,
BJ is correct - that's Trumpet vine or Trumpet Creeper, Campsis Radicans:
