Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Texas

family law/credit card bills

My mother just recently died. She left behind 2 huge credit card bills. Am I obligated to pay these? What will happen if I don't? I have made payment arrangements but signed nothing. The payments are high. My mom did own her home but the tax value is less than $5000.00. What can I do legally and what will they do? Please advise
