A guardianship must be created by the court through a formal appointment process. In larger counties, the proceedings will be initiated in the Probate Court. For smaller counties that do not have a probate court, the County Court or County Court at Law will be the appropriate court.
Once you file your completed paperwork, it usually takes about 30 days for the court to decide if they will grant guardianship. Lawyer and court costs are generally $2,000 to $5,000, depending on where you live in Texas and how hard it is to get the guardianship completed.
To start the guardianship process, you need to file a petition in the family court in the county where the child lives. You can go to the court in person to ask for the form or contact the court by phone and request that they send you a copy of the petition by mail or email.
