How to get help
Review the guide to identify whether an original parent-child case or modification may be relevant, then confirm standing, pleadings, service, evidence, fee, and hearing requirements with the court that has jurisdiction. Legal advice is recommended before filing.
Who this service helps
Open to the public for research; Texas law does not create an absolute grandparent visitation right, and standing and relief depend on statutory conditions, the child's best interest, existing orders, and case facts.
Where this service is available
Service area: Grandparents and families researching Texas custody or visitation law, including families and cases in Central Texas.
A service area describes where help is offered or who may be served. It is not necessarily the organization’s physical location.
Cost / fees
The online guide is free to use; court, service, records, evaluations, expert, and legal-service costs may apply.
About this service
The guide links legal explanations, statutes, forms, and research materials concerning the limited circumstances in which a grandparent may seek access, possession, custody, or modification of an existing order.
