QUESTION
Should I Hire a lawyer who says Independent Administrator is not allowed without a will in Texas?
Asked on Mar 24th, 2015 on Trusts and Estates - Texas
More details to this question:
I have read that under Texas probate law, I can file for Independent Administrator even though my mother died intestate - without a will or beneficiaries. I am interviewing probate attorneys, and two said that I'm not able to file for independent administrator because there is no will. Should I consider this a red flag if these attorneys, who specialize in Texas Probate, are unaware of this capability? Or am I totally wrong about the independent administrator assumption?

You should probably listen to the probate attorneys that have more information than you have provided here. Independent administration is not a given without a will (or even with a will, necessarily).
