Applies to the issuance of renewed Letters of Guardianship in the Hays County Courts at Law. Procedural information only; not legal advice.
Administrative Order Clarifying Issuance of Renewed Letters of Guardianship (Hays County Courts at Law). Under Texas Estates Code sections 1106.002-.003, Letters of Guardianship expire one year and four months after issuance, and the Clerk is required to issue renewed Letters of Guardianship annually upon the guardian's filing and the Court's approval of the guardian's annual report or accounting; the Estates Code requires issuance of only the initial Letters of Guardianship and does not mandate that the Clerk annually issue additional certified copies of the original order establishing the guardianship. Because some original orders directed the Clerk to issue both the initial Letters and an annual certified copy of the initial order, resulting in unnecessary expense to the guardianship estate, the County Courts clarify that a guardian may obtain renewed Letters of Guardianship without the automatic annual issuance of a certified copy of the original order, promoting efficiency and reducing unnecessary expenses.
