The .tex sources are just text files, with LaTeX markup though. But
there are tools like 

,----
| pandoc
| latex2html
| latex2rtf
| tex2man
| [...]
`----

to convert them.

 pandoc does latex->org

try 
latex2html 
or pandoc again? latex to html should be pretty advanced there.
or export to org, improve the org file (easy) and the export to html

These converters are all less than perfect, but they might give you
valid docs in other formats, that can then be improved with a really
good editor like Emacs or Vim (or with a PicoLisp program of course).
