Interstate child custody is a complex matter. You need an attorney for this, not self-help and websites. I believe may need to file in CA and get the TX case dismissed based on residency of the child, or you may need to proceed in TX but get an immediate order that the child reside with you and not be removed from CA. Until you have an attorney and some orders in place, I recommend against letting your husband take your son out of California.
The jurisdiction is now in California. You may file here for an order for your child's returen. Contact me directly.
