The heirs of the estate would own the house. It's up to them to (1) figure out who they are and (2) establish themselves as the owners.

As for #1, the Texas intestacy laws apply, so it would go to the spouse, children, parents, depending on who is still alive and the dates of death.

As for #2, there are several procedures to do, depending on when she died and what condition her estate is in (i.e. taxes, debts, etc.)

I'd be happy to discuss this with them. My contact information is below.
