Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Change Property Deed after Death

My brother-in-died in 1991. His name is still on the deed although it is not on the tax bill. What form do I need to make my sister the only owner of her condo? Do I need a lawyer or a title company to officially change the deed?
