Re: will

This is Texas, not England. There are rarely "readings" of Wills. It's not part of the process here. If the estate has been filed for probate, you can go to the county where the probate was filed and look at the file, which will include a copy of the Will. If your father left a Will, you are entitled to whatever he specifically left you.
