Texas Affidavit of Guardianship

State of TEXAS
County of [COUNTY]

Introduction:

I, [Your Name], of legal age, residing at [Your Address], City of [City], County of [County], State of Texas, being duly sworn, do hereby affirm and declare under penalty of perjury as follows:

Statement of Facts:

1. I am the appointed guardian of [Minor's Name], a minor child, born on [Date of Birth], in [City, State of Birth]. This affidavit is executed pursuant to the laws of the State of Texas to establish my guardianship over the said minor.

2. I am the legal guardian of the minor, having assumed responsibility due to the incapacity of the parent(s) to care for them effectively. This guardianship was established to ensure the minor's safety, well-being, and proper upbringing in the absence of their parent(s) or previous legal guardian.

3. My guardianship of the minor is established through a court order issued by [Court Name] on [Date], Case Number [Case Number]. This legal basis grants me the authority and responsibility to make decisions regarding the minor's care, upbringing, and well-being in accordance with the law.

4. As the legal guardian, I possess full authority to make decisions regarding the health, education, and welfare of the minor, including but not limited to:

• Enrollment in educational institutions and access to educational records.

• Authorization for medical, dental, and psychological care and access to medical records.

• Representation in legal matters pertaining to the minor.

• Application for and receipt of government benefits on behalf of the minor.

Duration of Guardianship:

The guardianship arrangement will terminate automatically once the minor reaches the age of 18, at which point they will attain legal adulthood. Alternatively, termination may occur by court order if circumstances warrant a reassessment of guardianship or if a new legal guardian is appointed by the court.

Acknowledgment:

I understand that this affidavit does not by itself confer authority to manage the minor's property or estate and that such authority must be granted by a separate legal document or court order.

Declaration of Truth:

I declare that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my knowledge, belief, and understanding. I understand that providing a false statement in this affidavit is subject to penalties for perjury under Texas law.

Executed this [DAY] of [MONTH], [YEAR].
