Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Please help

Recently, my husband of 35 years passed away. Although it was an estranged marriage, we chose to remain married and live in the same house. Before he passed away, he managed to transfer all of the properties we acquired while married, into our daughter's name. I was not aware of this until his death. She and I do not get along and I was left sole beneficiary of his life insurance, which wasn't much. I feel like I have been wronged. Everything we acquired, I am certain, is considered community property. I was even a co signer for loans to purchase the properties although my name was not on the titles. Every one of those properties were purchased throughout the 35 years of our marriage. I feel that I should be entitled to half or even all of the property. He did not leave a will but did manage to transfer titleship to our daughter before his death and gave some of his other possessions to her as well. This was done by a letter he had notarized stating he would like to give his daughter ownership of these items. Please let me know if I have a chance to get my properties back. As mentioned before, he did not leave a will, he did have some of his wishes notarized, and did transfer all of our properties to our daughter.
