Texas HB1915 amends the Family Code to modify orders for possession and access to a child in suits affecting the parent-child relationship.

Texas HB1915 amends the Family Code to change how courts handle possession and access orders for children in parent-child relationship suits. The court must consider specific factors when a child's possession varies from the standard order, including the child's need for healthy attachments and continuity of routine. For children under three, the court bases possession on the parents' agreement unless it's not in the child's best interest. The law applies to suits filed after its effective date of September 1, 2025.
