Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

It's not void, but the statute of limitations has run. Some judges in Texas will allow a will to be probated (as a muniment of title only) after four years IF you can convince the judge that the proponent of the will wasn't at fault for failing to do this within four years.

David is correct. I will add that the most typical situation wherein a judge would allow a probate after the four year statute of limitations has run is where the party seeking probate has strong evidence that the will presented for probate was not known about until after the 4 year limit had passed.
