The state of Texas has only 24 probate courts in 12 of its largest counties, with five located in Harris County.
To probate a will, you'll need to file an application in a probate court. This is typically done in the county where the deceased had lived. Other rules will apply if the person lived out of state. The court will schedule a hearing to examine the will and listen to any objections.
There are currently 18 statutory probate courts established in 10 counties across Texas that are limited primarily to probate matters.
For smaller, uncontested estates, the probate process in Texas can typically be completed within six months to a year. Texas offers an independent administration option, which allows executors to handle much of the process without ongoing court supervision.
