Eyes of Texas is a 1948 American Western film shot in Trucolor directed by William Witney and starring Roy Rogers.
Kindly Thad Cameron runs a ranch for boys whose fathers were killed in World War II. The ranch is named in the memory of his nephew and last surviving family member Frank Cameron who was killed in Italy.

Unfortunately, the real Frank remains dead as the scheming Hattie recruits a former convict to impersonate Frank.
