Talk to your local title company to see what they will require to insure title. Good luck.

It depends on how your dad gave you that piece of land, how it has been maintained, the clarity of the title, and the willingness of your siblings to sign over the land and whatnot.

There just isn't enough information here to continue, but many attorneys offer free consultations, so, I would contact the Houston Bar Association and ask them for a referal for a probate and real estate attorney. They can steer you in the right direction.

You can also receive referals from the State Bar Of Texas.

Good Luck.
