When you begin the probate process the first step is to submit an application for probate. This application must be filed with the proper Texas probate court in the county where the decedent resided. In the city of Pasadena this is generally Harris County.
It is of utmost importance to start the probate process in the correct jurisdiction. Probates filed in the incorrect court will very likely be thrown out even after going through all the steps. This is further complicated by each court in Texas having its own set of probate proceedings and conditions. Before filing, it’s best to consult with an attorney about the county or counties where you feel your probate should be handled.
Since the probate process will take place in the county that the decedent resided, Pasadena probate cases will be held within the Harris County Probate Courts.
