Western Peppergrass
Western Peppergrass

Lepidium montanum
Mustard Family - Brassicaceae

This Texas Wildflower blooms from February to August.  You will see another plant that looks a lot like this one, but it is different because the seed pods are heart shaped.  Peppergrass has round seed pods.  The dried seed pods can be ground and make a good substitute for black pepper.
