Understanding Conservatorship in Texas
In Texas, what is commonly known as “custody” is legally referred to as conservatorship. Parents are designated as “conservators,” and their responsibilities may vary depending on the type of conservatorship awarded. The main types include:
- Managing Conservator
- Possessory Conservator
Within these, the court may also establish:
- Sole Managing Conservatorship
- Joint Managing Conservatorship
These legal terms govern both the decision-making responsibilities and the amount of time each parent spends with the child.
Types of Child Custody in Texas
Custody arrangements in Texas can include:
- Joint Custody – Both parents share legal and/or physical custody.
- Sole Custody – One parent has primary custody.
- Legal Custody – Authority to make decisions regarding the child’s education, healthcare, and more.
- Physical Custody – Refers to where the child lives on a day-to-day basis.
The court may award joint custody or designate one parent as the primary custodian based on what serves the child’s best interests.

What Does “Best Interests of the Child” Mean?
Texas courts prioritize the child’s well-being in every custody decision. Several key factors are considered when determining what is in the child’s best interests:
- The child’s relationship with each parent
- Each parent’s willingness to foster a relationship with the other parent
- Geographic proximity of the parents
- History of substance abuse or domestic violence
- The ability of the parents to cooperate
- Overall mental, physical, and financial stability of each parent
Because every case is unique, consulting with a qualified family law attorney can provide critical guidance.
