If your father named his second wife as the executor, this may cause problems with your ability to see the will. Your best course of action is hire an attorney to represent you as a beneficiary to make sure that the estate is being properly divided up according to your father's wishes.

It's unclear from your question whether the proper jurisdiction is NY or TX. If the proper jurisdiction is Texas, then you can use Texas Probate Code 75 to compel the person with possession of the Will to turn it over to the probate court. You will need to consult with a local probate attorney to assist you in getting started with this.
