Texas law can get very specific as to who has an interest in the intestate estate. Generally speaking, Texas is a community property state and therefore distinguishes between community property and separate property. There are different rules for each type of property. All of the community property belongs to the surviving spouse unless there are heirs that are not related to the surviving spouse. If this is the case, then the spouse will receive one half of the estate while the heirs will have the other half to divide among themselves. If there are no surviving children or heirs then the surviving spouse will inherit the separate property as well.
The General order for distribution is:
(1)spouse
(2)children
(3)parents
(4)brothers and sisters
