Guardianship

Information about adult guardianship laws in Texas.

Modification Procedures

The Ward's Bill of Rights states that a ward has the right to ask the court to change their guardianship, appoint a different guardian, or have their legal capacity restored and end the guardianship. To do so, they must file a petition with the court.

In addition, Texas law requires that many guardianships be reviewed by the court on an annual basis so that the court can determine whether they should be continued, changed, or terminated.
