Tex. Est. Code Section 124.015
Recovery of Unpaid Estate Tax; Reimbursement

(a)

A representative shall recover from any person interested in the estate the unpaid amount of the estate tax apportioned and charged to the person under this subchapter unless the representative determines in good faith that an attempt to recover the amount would be economically impractical.

(b)

A representative who cannot collect from a person interested in the estate an unpaid amount of estate tax apportioned to that person shall apportion the amount not collected in the manner provided by Section 124.005 (General Apportionment of Estate Tax; Exceptions)(a) among the other persons interested in the estate who are subject to apportionment.

(c)

A person who is charged with or who pays an apportioned amount under Subsection (b) has a right of reimbursement for that amount from the person who failed to pay the tax. The representative may enforce the right of reimbursement, or the person who is charged with or who pays an apportioned amount under Subsection (b) may enforce the right of reimbursement directly by an assignment from the representative. A person assigned the right under this subsection is subrogated to the rights of the representative.

(d)

A representative who has a right of reimbursement may petition a court to determine the right of reimbursement.
