Could be a nutrient issue or could just be some environmental (wind or heat stress)

I hope not! I just threw some Osmocote fertilizer (the only fertilizer had on hand) and watered it in real good.
Now we have a 60% chance of rain the next two days. Lol

I put some slow release fertilizer on it yesterday and watered it in real good. Hopefully that’s it.
Thought I had some 13-13-13 but I guess I used it all.

It looks like it could be chlorosis to me...iron deficiency. Could your soil pH be too high?
But it doesn't exactly look right for it....

We haven’t had a frost in two months. Way before the leaves came out.

Osmocote wouldn't do that. It releases very slowly and even at a high rate would not tip burn. Try poking some holes in the soil to see if drying it out a little helps. I've lost a chestnut and a post oak due to too much watering and then unexpected rains right after. One came back from the root after I quit watering it. Also I had probably 2-3 " of mulch on them for winter so I pulled most of that off and it's doing fine.
Seems like I had a similar problem with some Dunstans a couple of years ago. They were still in pots and I was waiting to transplant in the fall. I had them watered on a timer and I believe they were overwatered. The leaves stayed that way for the rest of the season. Once I transplanted them that winter, haven’t had the issue since.

I'm gonna come back around to chlorosis. I agree a lot of trees suffering from an iron have yellowing leaves with veins staying somewhat green....but that's not the exclusive symptom. Or, this is another nutrient deficiency related to soil ph.
I think we can agree the tree we are looking at thrives in soils with 'lower' acidic soils.
I don't know where Brookstone, Texas is or if the tree is even in Texas, but I'll take a leap.
I lean on this map a lot.....
Generally, soils in the areas where you see blue are naturally above 7.0 and the browns below that.
