In Texas, the state only places claims against estates that pass through probate, whether by validating a will in court or through intestacy (without a will). Ladybird deeds (enhanced life estate deeds) and Transfer on Death deeds, however, transfer the homestead directly to the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries, bypassing probate entirely. Therefore, using either of these deeds would prevent a successful state claim.
