TEXAS Part 24

Note: Texas law requires judges not to consider the sex or marital status of the person when determining conservatorship or possession of and access to the child.*5

Note: Generally, the judge will favor granting both parents frequent contact with their child and have them share the responsibilities of raising their child.*2 However, the judge will not grant joint managing conservatorship if s/he finds there is credible (believable) evidence of a family violence, present child neglect or physical or sexual abuse by one parent against the other parent, a spouse or a child.*6
