I assume this is a deer jaw but I'm curious how to tell deer from antelope teeth. Specimen found in TX last weekend. Any and all responses welcome.

Looks like a deer to me, Dan. I don't have a Pleistocene antelope jaw for comparison. Here's the deer we have in Florida. Note that the premolars are deciduous. You can see an adult germ tooth in the broken notch under the dp4 (deciduous premolar 4).
