My father passed away on Aug 7 ,2019 and my mother has not filed his will with Superior Court in the county they live in. Does she have too file the will and what can I do if she won't?
Texas does not have superior courts. The Will is filed with the probate court, county court at law or county court, depending on the county where your father lived and died. If your mother does not submit the Will for probate, you can hire a probate lawyer who practices in that county to file a motion demanding the Will's production. Note that if there is no Will, the distribution of your father's possessions will pass to your mother unless he had children who are not hers.
