Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Family Code §153.004 to extend the lookback period for evidence of family violence, child neglect/abuse, or sexual offenses (including resulting pregnancy) from two years to five years before filing (or from separation, whichever earlier), plus during suit pendency, when determining conservatorship, access, or parenting time. This makes restrictions on the accused parent's custody/parenting time more likely, so restricts on the domestic-violence-custody subtag. No other topics are substantively addressed.
