Understanding Custody in Texas

Texas law uses the terms “conservatorship” and “possession and access” instead of custody, but the principles are the same. Legal conservatorship determines who can make important decisions about the child’s health, education, and general welfare. Possession and access refer to the parenting time schedule.

There are generally two main types of conservatorship:

  • Joint managing conservatorship
  • Sole managing conservatorship

Courts begin with the presumption that both parents should share rights and responsibilities, but the outcome depends on what is in the best interest of the child. The court will consider factors like stability, safety, past involvement, and the child’s specific needs.

When you work with Heiman Law Firm, we help you understand how Texas custody laws apply to your case and what legal path makes the most sense for your family.
