Texas State Law Library — lawyer referral services
The library explains statewide and local referral services, legal directories, and bar associations that can help Texans locate an attorney.
A practical resource list for executors
Texas referral resources
Start with official ways to find legal help and check an appraiser’s license. For cleanouts and property decisions, we explain what the public sources do—and do not— provide.
01
Texas executor resources
Attorney referrals
Start with a referral service or directory, then confirm that the attorney handles the questions and county involved in the estate.
State Bar of Texas — certified referral services
See the State Bar’s list of certified lawyer referral programs, including statewide and local services. Service areas vary by county.
State Bar of Texas — Find a Lawyer
Search the public directory by location and practice area, including Estates and Probate. The directory is a search tool, not a certified referral service.

Appraiser lookup
Use the Texas Appraiser Licensing & Certification Board’s lookup to review a license holder’s record. A license record does not establish fit for a particular estate assignment.
TALCB — License Holder Search
Search by a person’s or organization’s name or license number and review the license type and status shown by the state regulator.

Cleanout & property disposition
The sources reviewed for this guide did not identify a dedicated official Texas statewide directory for estate cleanout providers. This section offers scope-aware next steps instead of a vendor list.
TREC — consumer guidance for a property sale
If a real estate sale is being considered, TREC explains how to evaluate a broker or sales agent and provides a license lookup. Confirm who has authority to make estate property decisions with the estate’s attorney.
TCEQ Central Registry — what it covers
TCEQ’s registry provides information about facilities, organizations, and people the agency regulates. It is not a general estate cleanout referral list.
