I would give them the Death Certificate as well. The bank is probably just following their internal procedures. While your lawyer is not wrong, it is going to be easier to just give the bank what it wants that to try to fight them on this. If it was something more expensive or complicated, I might challenge them. In this case, I would just give it to them. Perhaps they can make a copy of the original and give it back to you.

In order for a will to be legally valid in Texas it must be signed by the testator in the presence of two adult witnesses. If the will is not signed by the person making the will (the testator), it is not a valid will.
