Cotinus mutabilis
Save you looking it up. Hey, you've helped me!

 
California Cotinus
I think the C.mutabilis in California are pretty distinctive looking vs. what you see in Texas. I wonder if they interbreed with C.nitida in Texas where both occur, or.. if some of the IDs as C.mutabilis from TX are actually C.nitida. Anyway, CA looks to be a sure thing ID-wise.
