(a) This section applies only to a guardian who is a certified guardian or attorney and who has designated a person to have care and custody of the ward or the ward's estate on the guardian's behalf as provided by Section 1104.402(a-1).

(b) A guardian shall notify the court of any change concerning the designation or contact information of a person having care and custody of a ward or the ward's estate on the guardian's behalf not later than the 30th day after the date the change occurs. If, as a result of a change in designation, the guardian wants to designate another person who will have care and custody of the ward or the ward's estate on the guardian's behalf, the notification must also include the name, address, phone number, and date of birth of that other person.

(c) On receipt of notification of a change under Subsection (b) that includes the name of a person who will have care and custody of the ward or the ward's estate on behalf of the guardian, the clerk of the court having jurisdiction over the proceeding shall obtain criminal history record information that is maintained by the Department of Public Safety or the Federal Bureau of Investigation identification division relating to that person.
