Tex. Est. Code Section 1105.102
Bond for Certain Guardians of the Person

(a)

This section applies only to a bond required to be posted by a guardian of the person of a ward when there is no guardian of the ward’s estate.

(b)

To ensure the performance of the guardian’s duties, a court may accept only:

(1)

a corporate surety bond;

(2)

a personal surety bond;

(3)

a deposit of money instead of a surety bond; or

(4)

a personal bond.

(c)

In determining the appropriate type and amount of bond to set for the guardian, the court shall consider:

(1)

the familial relationship of the guardian to the ward;

(2)

the guardian’s ties to the community;

(3)

the guardian’s financial condition;

(4)

the guardian’s past history of compliance with the court; and

(5)

the reason the guardian may have previously been denied a corporate surety bond.
