The court's instructions to an independent administrator in an intestate estate: qualify by oath (and any bond) within 20 days; order letters from the probate clerk; publish notice to creditors within 30 days and mail certified notice to secured creditors within two months, filing proof; file an inventory, appraisement and list of claims or an affidavit in lieu of inventory within 90 days; keep estate funds separate, collect claims, allow or reject presented claims; the court will not ratify the administrator's actions; close by distributing to the heirs under the order declaring heirship after debts and taxes are paid, on the attorney's advice.
Applies to independent administrators appointed by Bexar County Probate Court No. 2 (Judge Veronica Vasquez); the heirship and administration checklist requires the attorney to provide this guide to the client. The Spanish edition, "Una Guía para el Administrador Independiente en Texas", is registered separately as doc 451. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Guide for the Texas Independent Administrator, revised 09.01.2017 Page 1 of 3 JUDGE VERONICA VASQUEZ BEXAR COUNTY PROBATE COURT NO. 2 100 Dolorosa, Bexar County Courthouse, Room 123 San Antonio, Texas 78205 Phone: (210) 335-2670 Fax: (210) 335-3998 FOR: _______________________________________________________________ A Guide for the Texas Independent Administrator CAUSE NO. ____-____-_____________
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-08 from the TOPICs custody file (three pages; native text layer read in full; the Spanish edition's opening page was checked to confirm it is a translation of the same guide).
G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
