Protecting Vulnerable Loved Ones Through Legal Guardianship

When a loved one is no longer able to care for themselves or make responsible decisions due to age, illness, or disability, legal guardianship may be necessary. Our compassionate and knowledgeable Texas guardianship attorneys help families establish legal protections for vulnerable individuals—whether they are children, aging adults, or adults with special needs.

We guide you through every step of the guardianship process with the goal of ensuring safety, dignity, and peace of mind for everyone involved.

What Is Guardianship in Texas?

Guardianship is a legal relationship in which a court appoints a responsible person (the “guardian”) to care for and make decisions on behalf of another person (the “ward”) who is legally incapacitated.

Common Types of Guardianship in Texas:

  • Guardianship of the Person – Gives authority over the ward’s personal decisions, such as medical care, housing, and daily needs.
  • Guardianship of the Estate – Allows the guardian to manage the ward’s financial affairs, assets, and income.
  • Temporary or Emergency Guardianship – Appointed quickly in urgent situations to protect a person from harm.
  • Minor Guardianship – Appointed when a child’s parents are unable or unfit to care for them.

When Is Guardianship Needed?

Guardianship may be necessary when a person:

  • Is an elderly adult with dementia or Alzheimer’s
  • Has a serious disability or mental illness
  • Has been injured or incapacitated
  • Is a minor whose parents are deceased, incarcerated, or unfit
  • Cannot make responsible financial or personal decisions

Our attorneys can help you determine whether guardianship is the best solution—or if alternatives such as a Power of Attorney or supported decision-making may be appropriate.
