I have a couple of sweet gum trees and the tops of these trees are bare.

It begins with where these trees are. Sweetgums are not native to
Central Texas and prefer wetter soils east of Austin. But there are
some here that do well, mostly in bottomland soils with supplemental
watering.

I would recommend keeping them well watered.
