Roundup May kill it , but my experience with both a bush type and a climbing vine type here in Southern Oregon Says that it won't , ( it may at a higher strentgh than my normal use 2% ) . I use Crossbow at either a 3% or usual 4% mix . Takes only a couple of days to see it die out . Then comes the Tricky part . How the F*** to You get it down out of the tree without getting whacked in the face or other body part . My usual solution is to use loper's and cut it off at ground level first , then reaching up as far as I can , cut it off there and let it flop away from Me . What is above that is out of reach , thus less likely to come in contact with . Vine on ground is piled in remote area and when I have a load of green stuff to haul to recycle , it gets loaded into dump trailer first and away it goes .

Hard to tell for Me , as there is nothing to scale for leaf size . When I zoom though , I see little " Fingers " , ( those twisty little bitty vines ) that come out and wrap around things to hold main vine onto things . Honestly , it looks exactly like the vines My Dad had growing on his pump house to shade it in the summer time . ?????

According to this I'm going with Poison Oak.

But I have no idea what Texas Creeper is and did not find anything online.

Neighbor says its "Sorrel Vine" AKA cow-itch vine (Cissus trifoliata), a member of the grape family. According to Wildflowers Trees, and Shrubs of Texas, it can cause contact dermatitis in some individuals.

Not planning to do a skin test. I will watch it and take some more photos. First decision was not to take it down or burn it. It is near a fence line and not in the traffic flow.

In this area, we also have mustang grape and saw green brier in abundance.
