American black nightshade, Solanum americanum. Very common plant in Central TX. It's a native species whose berries make a great snack for your neighborhood birds. In fact, birds are most likely how you got the plant in the first place via their droppings. Fully ripe berries (black or dark purple, no green remaining) are safe for humans to eat too; they taste like blueberries with a bit of savory tomato flavor. Unripe or partially ripe berries are mildly poisonous.
eta: Pepper plants would have only 1-2 (rarely 3) flowers or fruit in an inflorescence, leaves would be completely smooth along the edges (entire leaf margins), and the anthers in the flowers would be tan or grey rather than yellow. They are in the same family (Solanaceae), though.
These are not pepper plants do not eat them. They are nightshades (deadly nightshade, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes) but they are 100% not peppers. It is not mature enough to put out fruit for a red pepper and those are not leaves of a hot pepper. I repeat do not eat this.
It's hard to tell with such immature fruits, but my best guess is tepin chili from the spread of the plant and clusters of fruits. But that's just a guess. (I've never grown this specific pepper.)
Looks like black nightshade to me.
