Bishop Guillory was ordained a Bishop February 19, 1998 for the diocese of Galveston-Houston and was installed as Bishop of Beaumont, Texas on July 27, 2000. He has chaired the bishops Committee of World Missions and has been a committee member of the African American Catholics Committee, the Committee on Hispanic Affairs, the Committee on Priestly Life and Ministry, Committee on Domestic Policy and the Committee on Migration. There are currently three Apostleship of the Sea chaplaincies in Bishop Guillory's diocese at Beaumont, Orange, and Port Arthur. Bishop Curtis Guillory remains the Bishop of Beaumont, Texas.
