TEXAS Part 29

If there is no custody order in place and you are given temporary emergency custody in Texas, it may stay in effect until your child’s “home state” or any other state that has jurisdiction, makes a custody determination. The temporary order may become a final custody order if Texas becomes your child’s “home state”.**

If there is already a custody order in place or a custody case is in progress in another state, the temporary emergency custody order will state a specific time limit that it will be in effect until the custody determination is finalized from the other state.***
