Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Our father passed away suddenly about 2 months ago. He was remarried. She is unwilling to let us see our Dad's will. As the only natural born children, are we entitled to see his will before she files it, and are we entitled to get family heirlooms back that were part of OUR family, not hers? Thank you.
