    (1) an executor and independent executor;
    (2) an administrator, independent administrator, and temporary administrator; and
    (3) a successor to an executor or administrator listed in Subdivision (1) or (2). See Texas Estates Code 22.031
  • Surety: includes a personal surety and a corporate surety. See Texas Estates Code 22.032

Instead of executing an affidavit under § 305.203 or creating a lien under § 305.204 when required, a personal surety may deposit the surety’s own cash or securities instead of pledging real property as security. The deposit:
(1) must be made in the same manner a personal representative deposits the representative’s own cash or securities; and
(2) is subject, to the extent applicable, to the provisions governing the same type of deposits made by personal representatives.
