What does guardianship entail in Texas?
Guardianship in Texas involves caring for another individual and/or managing their finances, with an aim to maintain the individual's autonomy and decision-making abilities as much as possible. A guardian, with full or limited jurisdiction over an incapacitated person, can be appointed by Texas courts.

What is the duration of validity for letters of guardianship for estates in Texas?
Letters of guardianship for estates in Texas are valid for a period of one year and four months from the date of issue. These letters can be reissued and renewed by the court clerk post the court's approval of the guardian's Annual Account. However, new Letters of Guardianship are not automatically sent out following the approval of your Annual Account.

Who is eligible to be a guardian to a child?
The court can appoint any individual who will act in the minor's best interest as a guardian. If the minor is 14 years or older, the minor's nominee should be appointed unless it's against the minor's best interest. A parental nomination, such as one in a will, is given preference.
