Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

In Texas there is no requirement that a "will be read" There is a requirement that if there is property in the deceased's name that the will be probated. If your father had property that was only in his name and no one else's, then in the county where your father died or in the county were his real property is located, there will be a probate proceeding. Whevever that is, the original will be filed with the court.
