The Probate Court handles what happens when someone dies or can no longer manage on their own: wills and estates, guardianships for an aging parent or an adult with disabilities, and mental-health commitments. In Travis County these cases go to one court, and the judge you elect decides them — often for families on the hardest day of their lives.
