Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

I am a child whose parents divorced when I was young however during their marriage they bought a house. When my parents divorced my mother was granted the house which we lived in for some time. Eventually, their came a point where my mother could not afford to make the house payments. So she in turn asked her parents to come and live with us so they could help her out. They decided to move in with us since they were living in a rented house. Many years later my mother remarried and we left the house with my grandparents living there. My grandparents all this time had been making the house payments and property taxes as well. After some time my grandfather wanted my mother to change the house over to his name so that he could get a tax brake for senior citizens on the property taxes. Which my mother gladly did for them in the form of a gift which actully didn't take very long to process. I lived in this house majority of my life and to this day still consider it my home. I was always told by mother that the house was suppose to be mine in the future. I mean nothing written in stone or legalized just what she would say to me. My grandparents are getting older now I am afraid that I will lose the house since I am not sure if they have a will or not set up for them.. My mother has 4 brothers and 3 sisters who all have different opinons about what should happen to the house. I would just like to know what rights my mother has to it if any or if there is anything I can do to prevent the house being sold or giving to someone who it has no meaning to like me.

Sincerely,

Jane
