Relating to procedures and required findings in certain suits affecting the parent-child relationship.
This Texas bill requires courts to provide more detailed written explanations when making decisions in family law cases involving parent-child relationships. Specifically, judges must list the specific facts and circumstances supporting their findings in a separate section of their orders rather than simply referring to the court record. The changes apply to cases pending or filed on or after September 1, 2025, and aim to increase transparency in judicial decision-making for family matters.
