If one heir out of 6 refuses to sign for a house to be sold, is there a way the others can sell it without that signature?

If the house is titled as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, with all 6 heirs, you have a big problem. If one of the heirs refuses to consent in a probate proceeding, schedule it for a hearing. If the property is held as tenants in common, sue for partition.

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Offices of Kimberly D. Moss, PLLC
I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, but I gather that you and your spouse are separated and living in Texas. In the event that you purchase a home in your sole name, that property will be considered community property because you bought it while being married. If you'd like to buy a house on your own and have it be considered your sole and separate property, you need to get a divorce from your spouse and then buy the home.
