In Texas, a will does not have to be notarized; however, it can be made self-proving if it is accompanied by a self-proving affidavit. A self-proving affidavit is a notarized statement signed by the testator and witnesses, attesting to the validity of the will. Having a self-proving will can expedite the probate process, as it eliminates the need for witnesses to testify in court about the will's authenticity.

In Texas, a will must be witnessed by at least two competent individuals who are at least 14 years old. Witnesses should not be beneficiaries in the will, as this may create a conflict of interest and potentially lead to challenges during the probate process.
