(1) the executor has qualified to serve as executor in the jurisdiction in which the will was previously admitted to probate or otherwise established;
(2) the executor is not disqualified from serving in that capacity in this state; and
(3) if the will is admitted to ancillary probate in this state after the fourth anniversary of the testator's death, the executor continues to serve in that capacity in the jurisdiction in which the will was previously admitted to probate or otherwise established.
(b) After the proof required by Subsection (a) is made, the court shall enter an order directing that ancillary letters testamentary be issued to the executor.
