As you describe the situation,the estate did have assets. It had the $5,000 you and your sibling are disputing. You are not entitled to the assets of the estate without some action, perhaps as little as filing a small estate affidavit. As much as you do not want to consider it, your sibling is in the right until you take action to give you a legal right to some portion of the $5,000.

Can a will be signed electronically in Texas?

Answered by attorney Terry Lynn Garrett
Estate Planning lawyer at The Garrett Law Firm, PLLC
Some lawyers are conducting drive-by signings.  Others are lobbying for Texas to permit remote (video) notarizations.  Note that this is different from using an electronic signature.

Is an un-notarized will valid?

Answered by attorney Dara J. Goldsmith
Estate Planning lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
If the Will meets the other requirements and is witnessed by two disinterested persons, of which you can locate one to sign an appropriate affidavit, the Will may be valid. If it is not witnessed and is solely in her own handwriting, and the will is dated, signed and sets froth that it intends to dispose of her property upon her death, it may be valid as a holographic Will. You should probably speak with an attorney and have the Will reviewed.
