Can't determine what kind of shrub this is! Anyone know? It's been neglected, and I want to save it if possible. This is around central Texas fyi. Here's a link to a pixel fed post with a second photo: https://pxlmo.com/p/inbeesee/810535364926629716

Definitely fixable it's just been "neglected" a bit. You're probably looking at a Euonymus and those barely require any upkeep to keep alive once established but will grow wild and make funky shapes. Definitely want to do more research on which specific type it is but it'll probably come down to you waiting until the later autumn being in Texas and basically chopping it to the ground. From there it'll bounce back with new fresh growth and you just pay attention in pruning it so it stays within your desired shape
