Harris Cnty. L. R. Prob. Ct. 2.2
Case Numbering - New Matters. All new estate administrations, guardianships, trust matters (including testamentary trusts when the underlying estate has been closed) that are filed in the Probate Courts of Harris County shall be assigned to a court in accordance with Section 25.1034 of the Government Code. Each case shall be assigned a docket number sequentially. All matters relating or appertaining to an estate or guardianship that has not been closed as provided in the Probate Code, including proceedings upon trusts created by a decedent's will, shall remain in such court subject to an order of transfer as with any case, and shall retain the original docket number with an appropriate sub-file number. Each subsequent matter filed involving the same decedent or proposed ward shall be filed in the original file, under the same docket number and in the same court as the original filing. If wills are filed for probate at the same time for a husband and wife, both cases shall be filed in the court in which the lowest numbered case is assigned. If a decedent's estate is filed in which the decedent was a ward of a Harris County probate court, the decedent's estate shall be filed in the court in which the guardianship was pending.
