Probate in harris county wholesaling

 So I'm trying to completely understand how to put a probate house under contract. I went online to the Harris County Clerk and search for the probate list, which I got but when in the event description can I find the executor address and when can I say to the executor that "I would like to buy their house". After that what is the next step?

@Alejandro Flores, not exactly sure of your question and it's pretty vague.  Here are the steps I follow.

1) Lookup probate information from the Fulton county courthouse in Atlanta and write down executor/administrator name, address, phone number.  Also write down the deceased name and last known address.

2) Research if the property of the last known address was titled in the deceased name.

3) Send direct mail to executor to explain how I can help and see if they are interested in selling.

4) If they call me, I make an appointment to see the property and determine repairs needed.

5) Send a letter of intent to purchase the property with my offer based on the rehab needed and my desired profit.

6) IF, they verbally accept my offer, I write a formal contract.

7) Once we are binding, I send to my attorney to start a title search and I also go back to the property with my contractors and firm up my estimates.

8) Once we are clear to close, I buy the house.
