If you look at the first pic near the top, you can see where a limb broke out. It was right at 30 inches in diameter and when that happened I got up in the top and limbed more out that was towards my shop. Tree looks to be on the downhill of it's life as it's starting to get bracket fungi at the base. Normal sign of internal decay. Tree is on the far right here. I'm more worried about the one that is closer and have limbed it as well. Hackberry also.
In our soil these tress are pretty strong. I can't ever recall seeing on blow over. They have always broke out high before doing that.
Hope all is well Texas way!
