In the 1910 census, Robert's mother and stepfather had moved to Comanche County, Oklahoma, and I found Robert living with his mother's parents in Collin County, Texas. Here he has the same middle initial as his father. I have not discovered what the initial D stands for.

By 1920, Robert's mother and stepfather have moved from Oklahoma to Collin County and he is back in their household. Note that the enumerator has mistakenly (probably absentmindedly) given the three Gilbert children the last name of Ward by putting a ditto under Wars after the entry for Robert Ward.
