Understanding Child Custody in Texas

In Texas, the legal term for child custody is “conservatorship.” Conservatorship determines the rights and responsibilities each parent has regarding the child’s upbringing and major life decisions.

Texas courts generally encourage both parents to remain actively involved in their children’s lives whenever appropriate. However, every family situation is unique, and custody arrangements must reflect the child’s best interests.
