I was locked out of my common law wifes house by her hiers after she died. I live in Texas. What can be done?

A will was made before we met, leaving everything to her kids. The house we lived in was hers. After her death they locked me out and moved my things into storage. Her son moved into the house. I got a lawyer and now he's into me for about $10,000 and this has dragged on for over a year. I live in Texas where common law is legal. My question is "What are my options concerning Illegal Eviction?"

She had cancer and I was the only one who cared for her. I cleaned her when she had an accident. I bathed her and spoon fed her. Stayed with her 24/7 while she was in the hospital and Hospice and was with her when she passed. I did this alone without any help from anyone else. Now they are claiming that I was only a renter to help with expenses and do yard work.

When we met, I lived in a 3 bedroom home with 2 full baths on 5 acres with a barn, stock tank and animals with around 50,000 dollars in the bank. I had a 22 ft. Beach Comber pontoon boat, ski boat, Chev. van, Chev. Pickup and Seville Cad. So why would I want to rent a room to share expenses with anyone?

I am now 76 yrs. old, broke and own absolutely nothing. I need some good advice. Thank you
