Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

I'm assuming either (1) there was a will, and letters testamentary were issued or (2) there was no will and letters of administration were issued. That being said, such letters are only valid for transactions within the State of Texas. If real property is located beyond the state's borders, then you will need to have an ancillary probate action performed in the state where the real property is located. In your case, you would need an ancillary action to be filed in Louisiana to address the property interests there. I recommend you re-ask this question in the LA law section.
