Key Insights into Conservatorship in Texas

In Texas, child custody is called conservatorship. The parent or parents who have the right to decide matters related to the child, such as living arrangements, healthcare, and education, are referred to as the managing conservators. A parent who has limited access and visitation rights with the child is referred to as a possessory conservator.

Texas law presumes that both parents should be named as joint managing conservators. This means that they will share the responsibility of making decisions for the child, and one parent may not take any major action that affects the child without informing or consulting the other. Typically, one parent will be given primary physical custody, and the other parent will be given visitation rights that are agreed on by the parents or determined by the court.

In some cases, joint conservatorship is ruled to be not in the best interest of the child.

Factors Influencing Sole Conservatorship Decisions:

  • The emotional needs of the child
  • The physical needs of the child
  • The child’s desires
  • The ability of each parent to care for the child
  • The environment and stability of each parent’s home
  • Each parent’s plan for caring for the child
  • Current or past abuse or domestic violence against the child
