WO is also a sandy soil species and I don't think Zac lives in Arlington or Euless. My guess is compound leaves, which eliminates Water Oak.

Strange. Must be a Water Oak. The bark looks more like a Cottonwood but the leaves don’t- nor do they really look like Pecan.

Like Don said, from what I read last night it sounds like pecan trees are resistant to cotton root rot.

It could also be an ash in which case it was going to die sooner than later anyway. Or it could be something else but the leaves are not any more clear than the lexus.
