custody statute
Texas custody law
Texas uses 'conservatorship' instead of custody and presumes that joint managing conservatorship is in the child's best interest.
What Texas courts consider in custody decisions
Texas courts evaluate each parent's plans for the child, the child's emotional and physical needs, any history of family violence or substance abuse, the stability of each proposed home, and the child's wishes if 12 or older. The Standard Possession Order (SPO) defines default visitation schedules.
How the custody process works in Texas
Texas custody disputes are filed in District Court. Parents may be ordered to attend mediation before trial. Texas uses a Standard Possession Order that sets a default schedule — typically the 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends, Thursday evenings, and alternating holidays. Judges can modify this for children under 3.
