(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 guardian to appear and give a new bond.
