You should contact your mortgage bank to determine how they would like you to handle the situation. The lender may want you to change the name on your home’s mortgage prior to transferring the house’s deed during the sale. Generally, to change the title or the mortgage into your name alone, you will need a copy of the death certificate. In addition to the mortgage bank, you should contact a Texas attorney that is experienced in real property matters to determine if any other issues exist for you to consider.
