Do I need to be executor or do I qualify to be that since it’s all being left to me?

Because your uncle has a daughter, she is legally entitled to take his property when he passes away under Texas law (assuming he is unmarried with no other children). Your uncle will need to execute a simple will that states you are to inherit from him rather than his daughter. This can be done for a small fee with a reputable estate planning attorney.

No, only if he is an heir of the estate can he inherit from her. You need to consult with a TX probate lawyer.

What can happen if my sister does not inform me of my mothers passing

Your sister has no legal obligation to inform you of anything.  If there was no Will and you were an heir under Texas law, the attorney of the person applying to probate the estate would have sent you a Distributee's Agreement.  If there was a Will and you were a named beneficiary, the attorney for the person whom the Will appointed and the Court named as executor of the Will and estate would have sent you a Notice to Beneficiary after the Court admitted the Will to probate.  Based on your description, it appears that there was a Will and that you were not named as a beneficiary.
