It looks like clover. Just get a rabbit, they love it!!
It lookes like the greenest thing you have. I would keep it
Clover, it will spread so pull it out now or you will be sorry. (I'm also in SE TX)

Looks like clover. A lot of people don't like it. Don't know why because it stays green and is low growing. The small flowers it has and they supply bees with nectar.
Lemon grass will form small yellow flowers, has a thin stems and grows 4 inches tall or more.
Clover stays lower to the ground with purple or white flowers.
Clover or a relative. If you don't like it weed it out now, while it is small. Or wait until next year, and hit it with an herbicide that stops germination of dicot (ie not grass) seeds, then weed out the survivors. Odds are, much of it is growing from seed.

Looks like clover to me. It's green, don't worry about it.

It looks like clover to me too. See:
If you don't like that stuff, deal with it now. Clover will spread quite agressively and that will only make it harder to control.

i'm with you, i LOVE clover!
Clover used to be considered advantageous for lawns. It greens up faster than grass and fixes nitrogen so it helps the soil. Weed & Feed kills it along with other broadleaf weeds so the fertilizer companies just listed clover as a weed on their packaging and now thats how many people think of it.

Yep, and particularly, once N levels reach values grasses like, the clover will gradually fade on its own to regenerate more densely when N levels fall again...all in all, not much to be said against it imo.
White clover, anyway...some of the red or field clovers are pretty coarse for lawns--I didn't look at pic's but from what others have said I'd presume that's what OP has (white, that is)...

Your weeds don't seem to ahve any grass around them.......or is the grass dormant? We have St. Aug. in Florida, and the weed looks like sorrel. Here is a link:
Us kids used to have fun looking for 4 leaf clover.
