Boone Schwartzel & Doug Wilshusen, Texas Probate Jurisdiction—There’s a Will, Where’s the Way?, 53 TEXAS L. REV. 323 (1975).
 

Abstract:
Responding to perceived inefficiencies in the judicial administration of probate justice, in 1973 the Texas legislature eliminated the district court’s appellate jurisdiction over probate matters. The county courts retained original probate jurisdiction. However, the legislature’s failure to amend other statutes dealing with probate review created great uncertainty with respect to the future role of the district courts. This comment considers the scope of these changes and addresses the question of further statutory revision.
