A: YES! You are entitled to property. In fact, under Texas Law you're probably entitled to receive more of your father's property than your stepmother. Reach out to a probate attorney as soon as possible to schedule a consultation meeting so that your inheritance rights are preserved.

Mr. Troy Michael Moore agrees with this answer
