I agree with Lar. It looks like boxelder to me too. It is fast
growing but doesn't stand up to storms well. Also accussed of
harboring boxelder bugs, but I couldn't be sure of that.

Hi...

I'm in northeastern Texas, and I have a sapling about three-feet tall
growing near a shrub in my yard, and I'd like to know what kind of tree it
may become.

I have searched the web exhaustively and have not found a match close enough
for me to be certain. I thought perhaps some you lawn and gardening experts
might know it on sight:

Sort of looks like box elder. You can look at 5 different trees and
find numerous shapes in the leaves that vary a bit.
