PCME in Guardianships

As parents, you are your child’s natural guardians under Texas law. When your child turns 18 years old, your child is considered an adult, with all the rights and responsibilities that come with that status. If your child has special needs, he or she may need you to continue in the role of guardian. This new designation of guardian will need to be ordered by a court in a Guardianship proceeding. One of the required forms for a successful guardianship is a Physician’s Certificate of Medical Examination (“PCME”). This video will walk you and your doctor through each section of the 4-page form.
