Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1317 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code and the Human Resources Code to authorize a court to appoint a receiver for a missing person if the court determines the missing person's estate is in danger of being lost, removed, or materially harmed. The act also amends the Texas Probate Code to assign the definition of "missing person" the same meaning established under the Human Resources Code and to delete certain provisions relating to the appointment of a guardian for a missing person.
