Can i block an Affidavit?

Asked on Nov 18th, 2020 on Estate Planning - Texas
More details to this question:
My partner has recently passed with no will in place. He has been estranged from his parents for several years now, however, they are trying to file an affidavit for possession of his assets. Is there anything that I or his closest friend (the only listed emergency contact upon his death) can do to stop this process? BTW I am in the state of Texas.

If you are not married, you get nothing.  You may think that you are "common law" married but that is very difficult to prove.
