Input (English): S.W.2d 920, 926 (Tex.1996) (emphasis in original). Accordingly, suits against a trust must be brought against the trustee. See Werner v. Colwell, 909 S.W.2d 866, 870 (Tex.1995); Smith v. Wayman, 148 Tex. 318, 224 S.W.2d 211, 218 (Tex.1949); Slay v. Burnett Trust, 143 Tex. 621, 187 S.W.2d 377, 382 (Tex.1945). Relators argue that because James Craig Guetersloh, Trustee of the 1984 Guetersloh Trust, is the actual party to the suit being prosecuted by the Real Parties in Interest, under Rule 7 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure he is authorized to “defend his rights therein, either in person or by an attorney of the court.” The right of a party to self-representation is not, however, absolute. See, e.g., Kunstoplast of Am. v. Formosa Plastics Corp., USA, 937 S.W.2d 455, 456 (Tex.1996) (<HOLDING>); Steele v. McDonald, 202 S.W.3d 926, 928-29
