Under Section 1203.051 of the Texas Estates Code, there are certain requirements that must be met, when removing a guardian including:
- Appointing a guardian ad litem, to protect the personal interests of the Ward during the change of guardians;
- Appointing an attorney ad litem, to protect the legal interests of the Ward during the change of guardians; and
- Removal of existing guardian must comply with Texas Estates Code 1203.056 Removal and Reinstatement of Guardian under Certain Circumstances
