As we welcome a new year filled with hope and possibility, remember to pause and extend grace to those entering 2026 without a cherished family member or loved one. New beginnings can feel complicated, and at times, unwanted, when grief is still present.

May this year bring you peace where it is needed most, growth where you feel ready, and healing at your own pace.

I am looking forward to and holding space for all that 2026 will offer.

🧠 Did You Know?
Only 3.5% of attorneys in Texas are certified to handle guardianship matters.

Many people do not realize that the Texas law requires all attorneys involved in a guardianship proceeding, must have the required guardianship certification. Guardianship can be complex and is not a process you want or can go alone.

Attorney Whitney Thomas is among this small group of certified professionals, equipped to guide you through the complex world of guardianship with expertise and care.

A guardianship consult is an excellent way to find out your options when it comes to caring for those who cannot care for themselves.

Many people misunderstand how guardianship works in Texas — and those myths can lead to big legal headaches.
Here are 5 common misconceptions about Texas guardianship that you need to know:
➡️ It’s not just for those with mental illness or addiction.
➡️ Parents aren’t automatically the guardians of a child’s estate.
➡️ Guardianship doesn’t remove all of a person’s rights.
➡️ Parents can’t simply “name” a future guardian without court approval.
➡️ The process isn’t quick or easy — courts require strong proof and protections.
