Once you have become familiar with the types of probate, you should contact an attorney who can advise you on the best type of probate for your situation. We don't handle the probate of wills unless there is a dispute that is going to lead to litigation. However, there are many lawyers who handle the ordinary probate of wills.
Trying to probate a will by yourself without an attorney is fraught with complications and pitfalls. You can't have an executor appointed if a lawyer is not involved.
Fortunately, Texas has one of the easiest and least expensive probate schemes in the country so getting a lawyer to help you is equally easy and inexpensive.

This page is general information about Texas law. It is not legal advice about your situation, and reading it does not create an attorney–client relationship. These matters turn heavily on specific facts and specific dates, and the law has exceptions this page does not cover. You should not take, or refrain from taking, any action based on this page.
