Dead Property Owner? Does brother Have Right to Sell the House?

[Blaine Alger]

So the Owner has been dead for 3 years and and did not have a will. The brother (who i spoke with) has been paying the property taxes for the last 3 years.

The deceased owner has a daughter who he didn't have a relation with and a son in Mexico

1)Would the brother be able to claim the property since he has been paying the taxes for the past 3 years? (The property is in Texas)

Any other suggestions would be appreciated.
