Plant life in West Texas

What got me started on this topic is this tree that I cannot identify.  It looks like a palm tree, but I can't find anything on it.  It is rather short, less than 10 ft tall.  It's growth is at the top and it doesn't have branches.  It might be a cycad, but cycads aren't supposed to be in West Texas.

So, I'm considering buying a couple books and reading up on Texas plant life.  Maybe I'll learn something that will help me.

Another source I want to mention is this website about the Chihuahuan Desert.
