My son has a watch that we control, it seems he is only allowed to text people on the family plan. How can we give him texting capabilities for anyone saved in his phone?

Am no expert in this area, yet your post to the community deserves some response:
You my want to change the way the watch is set-up:
Eg: See Apple ssupport's online article (link below):
Set up Apple Watch For Your Kids - Apple Support
Eg: (if you scroll down) : says:
"Manage a family member’s Apple Watch
When you tap My Watch for a managed watch, you see a variety of settings, including the following:
Contacts Choose trusted contacts."

If you scroll further down the linked article:
Eg: says:
"Set up Screen Time
Use Screen Time to configure controls for a child’s Apple Watch.
With Screen Time you can schedule time away from the screen, and limit both contacts and the apps your child can use to communicate with those contacts. You can also impose limits on iTunes Store and app purchases, explicit content, and location information."
There is more info. / step by step guidance / etc. in the article itself..

How can my son text contacts beyond the Family Sharing plan?
