Senate Bill 1053 amends the Texas Probate Code to add a person who is not certified as an individual serving on behalf of a guardianship program, a private professional guardian, or a public guardian to the list of persons disqualified to serve as guardians. The bill authorizes a court, on complaint of the Guardianship Certification Board, to remove a guardian who is ineligible for appointment because of the guardian's failure to maintain the certification required by law. The bill requires the guardian to be cited to appear and contest the request for removal in the manner provided by law.
