Sec. 305.206. RELEASE OF LIEN ON REAL PROPERTY OWNED BY PERSONAL SURETIES. (a) A personal surety who has given a lien under Section 305.204 may apply to the court to have the lien released.
(b) The court shall order the lien released if:
(1) the court is satisfied that the bond is sufficient without the lien; or
(2) sufficient other real or personal property of the surety is substituted on the same terms required for the lien that is to be released.
(c) If the personal surety does not offer a lien on other substituted property under Subsection (b)(2) and the court is not satisfied that the bond is sufficient without the substitution of other property, the court shall order the personal representative to appear and give a new bond.
(d) A certified copy of the court's order releasing the lien and describing the property that was subject to the lien has the effect of cancelling the lien if the order is filed with the county clerk of the county in which the property is located and recorded in the deed records of that county.
