Standing order of the Taylor County Court for probate cases, citing the Supreme Court of Texas decision in Suday v. Suday: a non-attorney pro se litigant may apply to be executor only if appointed executor in a valid will and the only beneficiary under it, and may apply for a muniment of title only as the sole beneficiary under a valid will; such a litigant may still represent a sole estate interest in a multi-beneficiary estate when not applying to be executor or for a muniment of title; by filing, a pro se litigant attests eligibility and acknowledges that filing fees are unlikely to be refunded. Effective September 1, 2026; non-attorney pro se filings made before that date are exempt.
