    <summary>Re-checked Estates Code Chapters 114, 203, and 205 and Travis, Harris, and Bexar county sources. The Small Estate Affidavit check now stops for a will or non-homestead real property and asks about solvency and heir signatures. Verified Travis and Harris filing and recording fees. Launched a Texas transfer on death deed check based on Chapter 114.</summary>
