Understanding Conservatorship in Texas
In Texas, what most people refer to as “custody” is legally called conservatorship. Courts may designate parents as:
- Managing Conservator – the parent responsible for making major decisions regarding the child’s welfare
- Possessory Conservator – the parent with visitation or access rights
Custody includes two main areas:
- Physical Custody – where the child lives
- Legal Custody – who makes key decisions about the child’s life
Our attorneys are dedicated to helping you achieve a custody arrangement that reflects your child’s best interests, which is the primary consideration in Texas courts.

What Houston Courts Consider in Custody Decisions
When determining custody, courts in Houston examine several key factors, including:
- The emotional bond between the child and each parent
- Each parent’s ability to support a positive relationship with the other parent
- Mental and physical health of both parents
- History of abuse, neglect, or substance issues
- Willingness and ability to co-parent effectively
- The child’s own preferences (depending on age and maturity)
Our experienced legal team will guide you through these considerations and help present the strongest case possible for your custody goals.
