Lawn weed ID

I have a lawn weed I'd like to ID. It is a small, low-growing lawn weed that creates a fairly charming blanket of white four petaled white flowers. It's starting to take over our yard a bit, so I'm trying to determine if there's a reason for me to try to eradicate it. I think it's pretty and I have to mow it less than the St. Augustine's, but I want to make sure I'm not going to regret leaving it.
I live just south of Houston Texas in Zone 9.
