Do you know if they flower at all? They look really similar to something they have at my apartment complex planted along the back fence/retaining wall.

My first thought was "Wisteria". If so, there should be lavender colored blooms and a bunch of them.

On a side thought, be thankful they are not KUDZU !!

Not wisteria, the leaf habit is wrong for it.

Wisteria leaves:

These are planted at the state school for the deaf.
I dont see any signs of flowers.
What ever it is it has been pruned back several times.
I the plants mentioned above and it isn't them.
These things are vine like without tendrils or any wrapping going on.
In the picture they go up and then loop back down for the cascading effect.

It looks like winter jasmine to me. I have it at the back of my house on the north side where it blooms all winter and gives hummingbirds something to drink in the cold months. It blooms when the leaves are off the plant. Either it has blooms or it has leaves. Seldom the two at once though things might be different in Texas.

Yes, winter jasmine looks just like the plants I was talking about at my complex! Correct leafing habit for what's pictured, too, with the three-leaf clusters and all. I think we had some on a back fence in a house I used to rent, the birds loved it.

Looks like winter Jasmine to me.
I suspected some sort of Jasmine.
Looks like I'll be doing a little collecting soon .
Our town rules say no fencing in the front you can't see through over four or five feet high they have no rules about what grows in or on the fence.
For privacy and border between the neighbor lady and I will be grapes.
If course with a walk through.

I wish I had a picture of them flowering, but here's the ones in my complex, they're about 2 years old.

I remember the ones at work flowering now that I think about it last winter and wondered what on earth they were.
Some of the sites that sell them say full sun but these aren't in full sun.
Kelly if you go down congress on the south side there is the Texas State school for the Deaf on the right just as you get across the lake.
It is going up hill right across the street from the luxury apartments.
Many people dont even know it is there.
I have worked in every state school Austin has at one time or another.
The one for the visually impaired I cleaned them out of pears one year.
The state school for the deaf is the quietest school you will ever be in.
What am I dont there?
Running conduit pulling wire and installing door holders that release and close fire doors if there is a fire.
This separates and blocks the fire from spreading.
Think of a ship taking on water.
The kids stay in dorms during the week day and go home on Friday so I am doing it in their dorms too.
The place is really nice all kinds of stone terraces and plants walkways old trees and so on.
It has been there since 1856 I think.
Even the wee little ones go there.
