On our Texas Custody page, we created the new subsection Steps to file for conservatorship (custody), which reorganized the steps into six separate questions, making it easier for users to find the information they need:
- Considerations before filing
- Step 1: Prepare for the case
- Step 2: File and serve the petition
- Step 3: Preliminary court dates
- Step 4: Reach an agreement or go to trial
- Step 5: Options if you disagree with the order
These questions explain the usual stages in a custody case, also called a “Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship,” and cross-link to other relevant information on our website. Changes made in English and Spanish!
