Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

My mother died in 2002. My sister was named as the executor of her will. My sister did not probate the will. I have never received or seen a copy of the will. In inquiring about the probate of the will, my sister told me there was no reason to probate the will as my mother's house was left to her and there was nothing else left in my mother's estate. I have since learned the house is in total disrepair and may be a health hazard. If I had been named in my mother's will as a beneficiary and the will was never probated, am I financially responsible for anything that needs to be done with my mother's estate?
