Guardianship is a matter for probate court.

It's easier to do it in family law court and it's called primary conservatorship.

You need to file a lawsuit asking the court to have you declared the person he lives with. The parents will need to be notified.

I primarily do work in Harris County. Based on your zip code, I doubt you are in Harris County. I offer a one hour consultation for $60 ($1 per minute).

I highly recommend PAT BUSHMAN at 713.807.9405. Pl. tell her that FRAN sent you.

Good luck!
