There are quite a few bushes and shrubs that produce berries such as the ones I see (from Hollies to weeds.) It would help to have a clear picture of the foliage - leaf structure/shape and layout on the branch. Also, is it a tree, bush, plant...etc?
Side note: What is with the watermark? Is this your usual use? Kind of large and makes it confusing to see the image. The text would be sufficient I would think. Just an opinion.

I dont think I have ever seen a bush that produces those berries and also has the big white X across it, I'd say you might have discovered a new species.
In all seriousness, asking for help identifying a plant, animal, bug, whatever is going to be seriously hindered by sticking a gawdy watermark over the top of it.

His profile says he lives in Arlington, Texas. From the link: "native to parts of western Europe (Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Northern Italy and Northern Spain)." |

Holly (typically called Christmas Holly)
American Beauty Berry a "Top Ten" Texas Native Plant.
Pigeon Berry
Just a few plants native to Texas with red berries. Your berries, from the picture, look most like Holly Berries. But the structure, from the picture, looks like Beauty Berries.
Would really like to see some leaves on the branch in your picture.

Sorry about that the image was pulled from my site and there is a rule that does that for outside links (eg google) it should be fixed now

| Whatever kind of berries they are, they sure are photogenic! Love the purple ones. |

I had the same bush at my back door of the house I grew up in, attracted the wasps like nothing on earth! If you don't have an answer by tomorrow morning I'll ask my mum, she knows what it is (she's asleep now though since it's nearly 5am.)

| Does the bush have thorns? We had some out in California that looked a bit like that, but had wicked thorns on the larger branches. Looks like it could be Pyracantha. Can't tell for sure. |

If the plant has thorns, it could be a Pyracantha.
ETA: Yeah, what  ambaker said. ;)

| Looks like a Nandina Domestica, or Heavenly Bamboo. I have a whole hedge row of the suckers along my front yard. The berries keep nice for winter decoration. |

They're hardy too. I trimmed mine to the ground due to unruliness and they are back in fine form in less than 3 months. |

| The rose hip and rose haw, is the pomaceous fruit of the rose plant, that typically is red-to-orange, but might be dark purple-to-black in some species. |
