More than likely the driver of the car would be held responsible. Obviously the owner could not give permission for the car to be driven. This is a situation that can become very complicated and costly. Consulting an attorney would be the best course of action.

Can a deceased person in Texas be sued for the return of a leased vehicle?

Yes, the estate can be required to return a leased vehicle according to the terms of the lease. If you read the fine print, it's there. Do you think that the vehicle should remain the property of the estate when it was only leased in the first place? That's the idea of a lease, the vehicle belongs to the leasing company and they let you use the vehicle for the terms of the lease. The terms of the lease are defined in the contract. If the estate of the deceased has been sued, I'm sure it is consistent with the terms of the contract.
