Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1037 amends the Texas Probate Code to establish that after a guardianship of the estate of a ward is settled, the court that had original probate jurisdiction retains jurisdiction over certain matters. The bill removes a provision that authorizes the court to award judgment in favor of a surety even if the ward has died or regained capacity or if disabilities of minority have been removed. The bill modifies language to distinguish the settling of a guardianship from language referring to its closing.
