Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 2165 amends the Texas Probate Code to authorize a county to pay for certain attorney and guardian ad litem fees for a ward whose estate is insufficient to pay for the services under certain circumstances. The act provides guidelines for establishing probable cause that a resident of a county is an incapacitated person, without a guardian or guardian ad litem, for whom the court is permitted to establish guardianship. The act also authorizes a guardian to complete and file a report required by the act without the assistance of an attorney.
