Sec. 1151.155. OPERATION OR RENTAL OF FARM, RANCH, FACTORY, OR OTHER BUSINESS. (a) If the ward owns a farm, ranch, factory, or other business that is not required to be immediately sold for the payment of a debt or other lawful purpose, the guardian of the estate on order of the court shall, as it appears to be in the estate's best interests: (1) continue to operate, or cause the continued operation of, the farm, ranch, factory, or other business; or (2) rent the farm, ranch, factory, or other business. (b) In deciding whether to issue an order under Subsection (a), the court: (1) shall consider: (A) the condition of the estate; and (B) the necessity that may exist for the future sale of the property or business for the payment of a debt, claim, or other lawful expenditure; and (2) may not extend the time of renting any of the property beyond what appears consistent with the maintenance and education of a ward or the settlement of the ward's estate.
