Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Texas

Probating will

My father passed away in April and left a will, however, he and my mother only owned a home, which is titled in both their names. There is no debt. If I file an ''Affadavit of Heirship'' with the courts, is it necessary to probate the will also.

This is in the state of Texas, a community property state.
