Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

Can they use prior will instead of the latest will??

My deceased mother told me she had updated or changed her will a few years before or death. They waited nearly five years to file her will into probate and then it was a will made in 1966 she died in 1999. I went to her lawyers office and they admitted that she had made a joint will with my stepfather in 1998 but refused to tell me anything else. I was told by a relative that it was unsigned I don't believe that and the will that was given in to probate was made in 1966 by the same attorney but a different executor and a different attorney filed it into probate. How can I get to see a copy of the 1998 will the law office assistant refused to let me have a copy or tell me anything about it and stated that ''I'd better not supoena her''! She was very rude!

I do not have an attorney.

The latest will is the proper will. If you are to challenge the will they've entered, you need a lawyer for sure.
