Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

death with no will

It is my understanding that when a person dies and has no will that 1/2 half is to go to the children and the other 1/2 to the living spouse. My mother had no will at the time of her death and the house was in her name. I (her oldest child) signed over the house to my step-father with the stipulation that when the house sold that 1/2 of the proceeds would be divided between me and my brother, which is what my step-father stated in his will. But my question is..doesn't half of the contents belong to me and my brother?

Half of her half of the community personal property and half of all of the separate personal property would go to you and your brother.
