Guardianship Programs

Please refer to section 7.8 of the JBCC Rules for additional information about Guardianship Program Registration.

IMPORTANT: Under section 155.155 of the Government Code, please be advised that the JBCC cannot confirm registration data to anyone outside of law enforcement and the county where the registration is filed. If you are a guardianship program, a guardian, or an attorney that represents a guardian needing to confirm registration data (i.e., information about the guardian, the ward, or the case), you must do the following:

• Contact the court where the guardianship is filed, or

• Login to your online profile and go to the Additional Information page of your profile. You will find any registrations submitted to us on that page.

Applications are processed as promptly as possible, in the order in which they are received. Due to the volume of applications received, processing times can vary.

Please do not contact the Commission to check the status of your application. Instead, use our Online Licensing System (ALiS) via the link on the red button below on this page. There you can confirm receipt, status, and progress of your application by referring to the View Pending Online Applications page of your online profiles. 

You will also be sent automated email confirmation of successful application submission, and when your application is approved.

If a guardianship belongs under your program; however, they were originally registered under the individual certified guardian(s) profile, please be advised these guardianships must be registered under your court appointed program by doing the following:

1. Going to the online system on our website and submitting the New Registration by a Program form.

2. Attaching a letter to the form which advises it’s a re-registration for one that was originally registered under a professionally certified guardian; however, it was actually appointed to your program.

   • The letter must be in PDF or Word format.

   • Attach the letter to the Additional Supporting Documents link of the GR form.

   • Include the name and certification number of the guardian it’s being transferred from.

   • Include any other required documentation for the registration.

Please be advised that you will not be required to undergo another background check for these re-registrations.

Using our online system, called ALiS, you are able apply for and renew licenses, certificates, and registrations, pay related fees, apply for CE approval, see a list of CE cases, and check the status of your applications. Members of the public can search for individuals or entities who are certified, licensed, or registered with the JBCC.

When submitting applications associated with fees, you will be charged a transaction fee based on the amount of the fee that is due.

Course Providers and licensees must have a user profile to use the online system; members of the public do not need a user profile.
