Houston, TX asked in Family Law, Elder Law and Probate for Texas

Q: How can I find if there are case(s) coming up in court concerning a relative?

Brother is trying to get guardianship over my mom (in order to kick her out of her own home & put her in nursing home). She doesn't want that. She has been capable of living on her own with my help thus far. I'm trying to help her, but don't know what court or even what county my brother plans on filing.

He's being deceitful & don't trust him nor court process to inform me.

How find out? & PLS don't day "look online" I've tried. I don't come up with anything. Am not a lawyer. "look online" does NOT work for me.

Can you name the website? Can you name the court person I approach?

A: The county where your mother resides is the proper county for filing the guardianship. Depending on where you live you may be able to look up the case online. You will want to file an answer to his filing in that same court under the case number you find.
