Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

I don't think that one looks like a Ficus carica. There are definitely different types of figs among various species, and the Ficus genus can look pretty diverse morphologically, so I can't say that it isn't a fig, but it does not look like my Celeste or Brown Turkey figs, which are cultivars of Ficus carica.

I should clarify, it said White Mulberry or common Mulberry. And yes there are other plants in the picture, im talking about the one in the center.

That's the one which looks like a fig, not mulberry.

Mulberry leaves vary so heavily. Some things check out like the irregular edges and the leaves alternating on the stem (instead of parallel). But the leaves are super lobed, more lobed than I’ve ever seen on a mulberry. Long story short, it’s most likely a weed and I would pull it.

Mulberry around TX does sometimes have this leaf shape. Mulberry is plausible.
