Probating a will means that the will must be presented to the probate court for allowance. The court will examine the will to determine its validity under state laws. When the will is allowed the court will appoint the named executor who is usually the person who submitted the will for probate. If no executor was named in a will the court will appoint the person who requested the appointment as long as there no are objections. An executor named in a will has no power or authority until they have been appointed by the court.

The court will issue Letters Testamentary to the executor and the letters provide the authority to settle the estate. The executor must settle the estate according to the provisions in the will and the state probate laws under the supervision of the court. The debts of the decedent must be paid before any property can be distributed to the heirs.

How many counties have established probate courts in Texas?

Ten counties in Texas have established Statutory Probate Courts - Bexar, Collin, Dallas, Denton, El Paso, Galveston, Harris, Hidalgo, Tarrant, and Travis. Some of these counties have more than one Probate Court; there are 18 Statutory Probate Courts total in Texas. That does not mean that only 18 courts in the state hear probate cases! In counties without Probate Courts, probate matters (such as wills, estates, and guardianships) may be heard in District Courts, County Constitutional Courts and/or County Courts at Law. In some counties, a County Court at Law may be referred to as a "County and Probate Court," but unless it is in one of the counties listed above, it is not officially a Probate Court. To find out more information about the Statutory Probate Courts in the counties named above, and for online court resources, visit the Texas Courts Guide related link.
