Do Grandparents Have Rights in Texas?

Under Texas law, grandparents have no direct custody rights with the children, but there are situations in which custody may be permitted. The courts will examine all the facts to determine if a grandparent should be allowed to have protected time with the kids.

Some situations that may lead to custody or visitation time for grandparents include:

The parents are divorced, and the grandparent has played a significant role in the child's upbringing
One or both of the parents are currently incarcerated or are facing jail time
The grandparent has already raised the child for six months or more
The parents have demonstrated that they are unfit to care for the child (for example, the parents may have drug or alcohol abuse problems)
The child is being abused or neglected
One or both of the parents is away on active military service

We know that there are extremely important issues that must be addressed in these matters. We want to do our best to reduce conflict while pursuing a result that is in the child's best interest. You can depend upon us to provide you with a straightforward analysis of your case and tell you exactly what we can do to help you moving forward.
