This form is a contract for the lease of personal property. The lessor demises and leases to the lessee and the lessee takes and rents from the lessor certain personal property described in Exhibit "A".
The Writ of Possession allows for the possession of the property, after a deputy has posted written notice notifying the tenant a writ has been issued. By law, we are required to give a minimum of 24 hours notice before enforcing the writ.

Texas recognizes holographic wills, which are entirely handwritten by the testator and do not require witness signatures, and for a will to be valid, the testator must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind. Texas does not impose estate or inheritance taxes.
Consulting an estate planning attorney ensures that your updated Will complies with Texas laws. They can guide you through complex legal language and help make sure your document is legally binding. While it's possible to update your Will on your own, professional advice adds a layer of security and accuracy.
You normally need not get very specific, unless an object is particularly valuable. It is enough to list the location of the property: "all household furnishings and possessions in the apartment at 55 Drury Lane."
You can make your own will in Texas, using Nolo's Quicken WillMaker & Trust. However, you might want to consult a lawyer in some situations. For example, if you think that your will might be contested or you have especially complicated goals, you should talk with an attorney.
No — in Texas, you don't need to notarize your will to make it valid. However, a notary is required if you want to make your will self-proving. When a will is self-proving, the court can accept your will without needing to contact your witnesses to prove its validity. This can speed up the probate process.
State laws require filing all wills, but they do not require executors to petition for probate. The probate process may not always be necessary, even if a loved one has a will.
