Under Texas law, there is a waiting period of at least 60 days—counted beginning the day after the Petition is filed—before a divorce can be finalized. A divorce can take longer than 60 days, but it cannot be finalized in fewer than 60 days unless one of two exceptions involving family violence applies.
To obtain a copy of a divorce decree contact the District Clerk's Office at (210) 335-2113. The office is located at 101 W. Nueva, Suite 217, San Antonio, Texas 78205 and is operated Monday through Friday from am to pm.
The Writ of Possession allows for the possession of the property, after a deputy has posted written notice notifying the tenant a writ has been issued. By law, we are required to give a minimum of 24 hours notice before enforcing the writ.

Once you complete the small estate affidavit and the affidavit of heirship, you must file them with the clerk of the court at the probate court in the county where the deceased was a resident.
The Texas affidavit of heirship form must be filled out and filed on behalf of a decedent's heir and can not be completed by the heir. Instead, two disinterested parties who know the necessary details about a decedent's family life need to fill out the form.
