Generally, an ex-spouse is not an heir at law. Therefore, they would inherit nothing unless the decedent left a will that specifically left property to the spouse even if there was a later divorce. If the decedent died intestate the ex-spouse has no right to any inheritance. You can check the laws of intestacy for your state at the related question link provided below.

In Texas does the step wife have rights to a property in a valid will?

There is no such legal entity as a step-wife. A second wife is the surviving spouse and has rights of inheritance under state laws. A wife who is disinherited by will has the right of election. The surviving spouse can elect to take a statutory share of the testator's estate. That share can be up to one-third of the estate. Texas is also a community property state. A surviving spouse has rights in any property acquired during the marriage. You should consult with an attorney who can review your situation and determine what your rights are under your state laws.
