You can get an affidavit of heirship to go with a probate as muniment of title. You would be better of with an attorney on this problem.
Re: Where Do I Start
You want to start off with a lawyer in Van Zandt County that's comfortable with both probate and real property law.
You may need to get all the heirs to agree that the letter gives the property to you, and have an affidavit of heirship filed.
