In general a will executed in TX can indeed be valid if the deceased later became a resident of LA, as long as it is consistent with LA law. However, LA is a bit of an odd duck due to its community property and "forced heir" laws. Are there children who are under age 24 and/or disabled who may be forced heir(s) under LA law? If so, and if the will ignores this, then he will can most likley be contested.

You aren't clear on what part LA plays in this. You said; "inherits Louisiana property". The location of the property may have little bearing. It's the location of the deceased that matters. If the deceased was a resident of TX and died there, I don't believe LA's laws on inheritance would have any jurisdiction.
