SKETCHES, ETC. RELATING TO TEXAS (A 1986 Facsimile Reproduction by Glen's

Laws of Texas Necessary for Every Body to Know:
Acts Concerning Wills: Heretofore no person in Texas was permitted, by act of
January 28, 1840, to dispose of more than one-fourth of his property by will,
to the prejudice of his children; but the following Act of the last adjourned
Session, gives every one the same right to dispose of his or her entire property
by will, that all persons enjoy during their life time: (quotation from the act
follows, with the notation that the act Passed July 24th, 1856.)
Law Regulating Marital Rights: An important law under this caption, was passed
at the late adjourned Session, but not having a copy of it, we give its leading
features, as follows:
On the decease of either husband or wife, the community property continues as
under the former law; the survivor is, however, not required to take out letters
of administration; but by furnishing the Chief Justice of the County with an
inventory of the property, the surviving husband or wife may continue in the
use and enjoyment of the property, with the full power of selling or otherwise
disposing of it. Should the surviving widow, however, marry again, this
privilege ceases, and she is compelled to administer or settle the estate as
under the former law. Should any heir or creditor, or any party interested,
become dissatisfied with the management of the property, such party may, by
application to the Chief Justice of the County, compell (sic) the surviving
husband or wife (as the case may be) to give bond and security for the proper
management of the estate, so as to protect such heir or creditor,
