Do I need to file my will with the court in Texas?
No, you don't need to file your will with any court while you're alive in Texas. Your will should be kept in a safe, accessible place where your executor can find it after your death. Some people choose to store their will in a safety deposit box, fireproof safe, or with their attorney, but court filing isn't required. The will only gets filed with the probate court after death when the probate process begins.
