The Caldwell County Court at Law's written instructions that every appointed guardian of an estate acknowledges: qualify within 20 days by filing the oath and bond; collect and insure assets; keep estate funds in federally insured Texas accounts and Social Security funds separate; publish and mail creditor notices; file the inventory within 30 days and the monthly-allowance application within 30 days; obtain court orders before spending, selling or litigating; file annual accounts; report address changes; and the closing sequence on the ward's death.
Applies to every guardian of an estate appointed by the Caldwell County Court at Law (the guardian signs an acknowledgment of receipt). Procedural information only; not legal advice.
As the duly appointed Guardian of this estate, you are advised that you must do the following: 1. Qualify as guardian by filing your Oath and Bond within 20 days of the date of your appointment. Estates Code §1105.003. You have no authority to act until you submit the Bond, and it is approved by the Court.
Reviewer note: Composed 2026-09-07 (completeness fix F3) from the county-site document's text layer read in full (all twenty instructions). The document is undated (site file name 01.20.23), so no effective date is recorded. Bound to the Caldwell County Court at Law and to Judge Richard R. Hicks III.
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.
