I am sorry for your loss. To determine what happens to your deceased son's inheritance, know that there will be a clear answer under Texas law. In many states, specific gifts are handled differently than are shares of all the rest of the estate after the specific gifts are assigned.
You have not said which type of beneficiary your son is. It is possible that your son's estate will inherit if he is beneficiary of a share.
Still, it is essential for you to consult an experienced Texas Estate lawyer who will likely know the answer immediately, once he or she has reviewed the Will.
To your success,
