In Texas, there is no formal requirement for a reading of the will. On the death of the testator, anyone possession a will is support to forward it to the appropriate court. Most people do that by filing to probate the will.
Although "reading the will" is quaint, it might be a good thing if the family is agreeable and emotionally healthy. Otherwise, it is probably a bad idea.
