This is Honey Locust, ( Gleditsia triacanthos) this tree is native to the eastern half of Texas.
It has trememdous thorns at least 3 inches long,on the branches and all along the trunk.
We remove the thorns from the trunk, and keep it pollarded to keep it under control, but the foliage is lacy and beautiful.
Here is a picture of the tree in the winter, in all it's terrible beauty.
