Relating to certain services and interventions ordered in a suit affecting a parent-child relationship and to certain judicial training requirements.

HB 4942 requires courts to only order family violence or child abuse-related services if they are proven effective, safe, and based on evidence. It sets standards for mental health counselors in custody cases, mandating they have family therapy expertise, a master's-level license, and relevant training on violence or abuse. The bill also updates judicial training requirements to include evidence-based content on reducing child trauma, victim protection, and evaluating service effectiveness. These changes directly affect courts, mental health professionals, and judges handling family law cases in Texas.
