For smaller settlement amounts, the money is deposited into the registry of the court, where it’s invested along with other registry funds in specific low-risk investments specified by Texas law. When they turn 18, the minor can access the money from the court registry. For larger settlements, our attorneys and the guardian ad litem can work with our clients to agree upon a low-risk annuity or other appropriate investment vehicle to accrue additional money for the minor until they turn eighteen.
