My mom passed away without a will in State of Texas. She was a widow upon her death, although they had been seperated for almost 30 years. Does my step sister have any rights to the house?

Who inherits her property if she was married will depend on whether she had any children who were not also the children of her husband. It also depends on whether the house was community property. There are other factors that will enter into this, as well. Even if one has an interest in property, under the right situation, it might be subject to reimbursement. You should contact a probate attorney for advice.
