Guide for the Texas Independent Executor, revised 9.01.2017 Page 1 of 4 JUDGE VERONICA VASQUEZ BEXAR COUNTY PROBATE COURT NO. 2 100 Dolorosa Street, Bexar County Courthouse, Room 123 San Antonio, Texas 78205 Phone: (210) 335-2670 Fax: (210) 335-3998 FOR: _________________________________________________________________________ A Guide for the Texas Independent Executor CAUSE NO______-____-________
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-08 from the TOPICs custody file (four 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.
