All Burnet County Probate matters are heard by Judge Henson.

Please email the Court at burnetccal@burnetcountytexas.org to request a hearing date.  

It is Judge Henson’s policy that all parties appear in person for all probate hearings. In the event that you are unable to appear in person and meet one of the below parameters you are welcome to request a virtual hearing at the time you request hearing dates from the Court. 

For uncontested probate matters only, Judge Henson will allow parties who reside over 150 miles away to appear by phone. 
For uncontested heirship proceedings, Judge Henson will allow parties, including the required 2 disinterested witnesses, who reside over 150 miles away to appear by zoom. 

When requesting a hearing date, attorneys will be responsible for notifying the court of their request to appear remote.

Efile all proposed documents with the County Clerk at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled hearing.
