Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Texas Family Code provisions on possession orders in SAPCR cases, primarily for children under 3 and variances from the standard possession order. Changes to factors in Sec. 153.254 and the requirement for orders as similar as possible to the standard (Sec. 153.253) plus mandatory written findings for variances (Sec. 153.258) generally promote greater predictability, continuity, and access for the possessory (less-custodial) parent, expanding their rights on the custody-parenting-time axis. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
