HB 1915 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to orders for possession of and access to a child in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship.

HB 1915 amends Texas Family Code sections 153.253 and 153.254 to change how courts handle child custody orders. It requires courts to adjust the standard possession schedule when a parent's work schedule, the child's school, or other special circumstances make the standard order impractical. For children under three, the bill mandates courts to consider specific factors including the child's medical needs, preexisting parent-child relationships, parental availability, and environmental factors during possession. The law directly affects parents and courts in custody cases involving young children or complex schedules. These changes aim to create more flexible, child-centered custody arrangements based on individual circumstances.
