In The Garden: black & chartreuse shrub

Can you identify this shrub I saw in central Texas? It was in an old, untended landscape that I am fairly sure was put in by a local landscaper maybe 35 years ago. Thanks!

 

Probably a Privet with some cold damage due to the ice storms this Winter.

 

The plant was mistakenly pulled out about 4 years ago. What you see isn't cold damage. This was the coloration year-round. I appreciate that you took the time to reply!

 

Definitely a privet. The purple is probably winter color, just tinting rather than damage.

 

That's two votes for privet so privet I will call it! Thank you!
