Sec. 357.003.  ESTATE PROPERTY RENTED ON CREDIT.  Possession of estate property rented on credit may not be delivered until the renter executes and delivers to the personal representative a note with good personal security for the amount of the rent.  If the property is delivered without the representative receiving the required security, the representative and the sureties on the representative's bond are liable for the full amount of the rent.  When a rental is payable in installments, in advance of the period to which the installments relate, this section does not apply.
