Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Texas Wills

Can I draft a will that only leaves a nominal amount of cash to my wife and leave everyting else to my children? Or would I be better off not drafting a will at this time and forcing an even split of assets between my wife and kids.

You can give your half of the community property and all of your separate property to your children in your will.
