Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Mother died with no will, deed to her house in her name only

We are selling my mothers house. Because she did not leave a will how do we divide. I had seven siblings. Do you divide it down to the grandchildren and great grandchildren if some of the siblings died with no will?
