(b) After the guardian files an application under Subsection (a), the clerk shall issue and have posted notice to all persons interested in the estate and to a surety on the bond.

(c) The judge may permit the filing of a new bond in a reduced amount if: (1) proof is submitted that a bond in an amount less than the bond in effect will be adequate to meet the requirements of law and protect the guardianship; and (2) the judge approves an accounting filed at the time of the application.
