Understanding Conservatorship in Texas
In Texas, conservatorship is the legal term for what is commonly referred to as “custody.” Depending on the type of conservatorship granted, parents are designated as “conservators” and may have different responsibilities. Among the primary kinds are:
- Managing Conservator
- Possessory Conservator
The court may also determine within these:
- Sole Managing Conservatorship
- Joint Managing Conservatorship
Both the decision-making duties and the amount of time each parent spends with the child are governed by these legal terms.
Types of Child Custody in Texas
In Texas, custody agreements may consist of:
- Joint Custody – Physical and/or legal custody is divided between the two parents.
- Sole Custody – Primary custody is held by one parent.
- Legal Custody – The power to decide on the child’s medical treatment, education, and other matters.
- Physical Custody – This describes the child’s daily residence.
Depending on what is best for the child, the court may grant joint custody or name one parent as the primary custodian.

What Does “Best Interests of the Child” Mean?
In every custody decision, Texas courts put the welfare of the child first. When deciding what is best for the child, a number of important factors are taken into account:
- The relationship between each parent and the child
- The readiness of each parent to cultivate a relationship with the other
- The parents’ geographic proximity
- Past incidents of substance misuse or domestic violence
- The parents’ capacity for cooperation
- Overall stability of each parent’s finances, health, and mind
Since each case is different, seeking advice from an experienced family law lawyer can be extremely beneficial.
