Texas
Texas is in the first wave. It is not open.
We are not taking cases in Texas yet. This page is here so you can see where we intend to start, and so we do not pretend a state is open when the rulepack for it is still a draft.
We are not taking cases yet. Arizona and North Carolina are first. We will not open in a state until a lawyer licensed there has reviewed a complete filing packet we produced, because the alternative is finding out we were wrong using somebody’s actual estate. Ask us to write when that changes.
Why Texas is early
- Independent administration and muniment of title are the closest thing the country has to a fast lane, when the will and the family allow it.
- eFileTexas covers every county, and e-filing is mandatory. That is the best statewide filing surface in the country, which matters when the work is the paperwork.
- Texas has an active unauthorized-practice committee. We treat that as a reason to put a Texas-licensed lawyer on the filing from day one, not as a reason to skip the state.
A lawyer licensed in Texas will review a complete packet we produced before anyone's estate goes through this system. Until that happens, there is nothing to buy.
We do not publish filing fees, small-estate dollar thresholds, or county processing times on this site until a named person has verified them against the current statute and the clerk. A wrong number on a public page is how families miss a deadline.
