Guardianship Programs

Please refer to section 7.8 of the JBCC Rules for additional information about Guardianship Program Registration.

IMPORTANT: Under section 155.155 of the Government Code, please be advised that the JBCC cannot confirm registration data to anyone outside of law enforcement and the county where the registration is filed. If you are a guardianship program, a guardian, or an attorney that represents a guardian needing to confirm registration data (i.e., information about the guardian, the ward, or the case), you must do the following:

  • Contact the court where the guardianship is filed, or
  • Login to your online profile and go to the Additional Information page of your profile. You will find any registrations submitted to us on that page.

Application Processing

Applications are processed as soon as possible, in the order of which they are received. Due to the volume of applications received, processing times can vary. 
 
Please do not contact the Commission to check the status of your application.  Instead, use our Online Licensing System (ALiS) via the link on the red button below on this page.  There you can confirm receipt, status, and progress of your application by referring to the View Pending Online Applications page of your online profiles.  
 
You will also be sent automated email confirmation of successful application submission, and when your application is approved.
