Texas Wills

A valid Texas will requires: testator at least 18, of sound mind, written, signed by testator (or by someone at testator's direction in their presence), signed by two credible witnesses in testator's presence. HOLOGRAPHIC WILL (handwritten by testator) is valid in Texas without witnesses, if entirely in testator's handwriting and signed.
