The native Texas Lantana is a common "understory" shrub in the thorn brush of this region. Blooming abundantly in late October and an important nectar plant for many butterflies.
UPDATE: Added a 4th image to show the spatulate bractlets under the flowers/fruits.

Note: According to Flora of NC Texas, twigs and leaf rachises densely to sparsely spreading-pubescent (latter extreme is the common form in nc TX); leaflets with shallow, rounded teeth. When I zoom in on the closeup photo of the leaflets, those are the characteristics that I see.
