This case concerns an appeal filed by Lois Dean Thedford against Jonelle M. White, challenging the trial court's decision to remove Thedford as guardian of Alma Louise Grove's person and appoint White in her place. Thedford failed to fulfill statutory requirements by not filing her guardianship oath and bond within the mandated timeframe, leading to her removal without notice under the Texas Probate Code. The appellate court affirmed the trial court's judgment, concluding that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in removing Thedford for failure to qualify or in denying her subsequent applications for reinstatement and a new trial. The court also found no due process violation, as the relevant probate statute allows removal without notice for neglecting to qualify as required by law. White's previously posted bond was deemed sufficient for her expanded guardianship duties.
