Tarrant County Probate Attorney
Probate is a county matter. Texas files a case in the county where your loved one legally resided, not where the property sits and not where the family lives now, so for most Fort Worth families the answer is Tarrant County and the two statutory probate courts downtown. Kyle Robbins handles Tarrant County cases on a flat fee for uncontested matters, and manages most of the case remotely.
Why the county decides your case
Under Texas Estates Code Section 33.001 probate is filed in the county where the decedent was domiciled. That single rule decides which courthouse, which judge, which local procedures, and how long the case takes. It is also why an address two streets away can send a neighbour to a different court, which is exactly what happens on the edges of this county.
Tarrant County runs two statutory probate courts, both downtown at the Old Courthouse. That is a genuine advantage: dedicated probate judges hearing probate all day, and cases that move on a predictable schedule when they are prepared correctly. If you want the procedure itself, the deadlines, the filing requirements, and what a hearing looks like, that is covered in the Tarrant County probate process guide.
The two Tarrant County probate courts
Cases are assigned at filing, so you do not choose your court. Each judge runs their docket a little differently, and knowing those differences before you file is most of the job.
Probate Court No. 1
Judge Patricia Burns
100 West Weatherford Street, Fort Worth, TX 76196, Room 260A (2nd Floor)
Zoom: In-person is the default. Zoom is granted by request, for hearings where it is genuinely needed; you or your attorney email the court stating the hearing type, time needed, and whether a court reporter is required. Judge Burns maintains a Zoom room used for approved remote hearings.

Judge Brook Bell
100 West Weatherford Street, Fort Worth, TX 76196, Room 150
Zoom: Publishes a formal Zoom process for uncontested muniment of title, administrations, and some heirships: request through the court coordinator, a notary must be present to administer the oath and proofs, and a standing Zoom link is provided. Contested and evidentiary matters remain in person.
Court details →When your case is not in Tarrant County
Tarrant County is large, and the communities on its edges do not stop at the line. Grand Prairie spans Tarrant, Dallas and Ellis counties. Grapevine touches Tarrant, Dallas and Denton. Mansfield reaches into Johnson and Ellis. Families in those areas are routinely surprised, and filing in the wrong county can get a case transferred while deadlines keep running.
We confirm the correct county before anything is filed, and we handle the case either way. Texas probate runs on one statewide Estates Code, so the same process and the same flat fees apply whether your case belongs in Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, Johnson, Parker, Wise or Ellis County. If you are not sure which one is yours, that is a short phone call.
