AI Summary
-
Amends Texas Family Code Section 153.316 to address child custody exchanges when a child is not physically attending school, such as during remote learning or homeschooling situations
-
Establishes alternative exchange locations when school pickup/dropoff is not possible: the managing conservator's residence (for beginning possession), the possessory conservator's residence (for ending possession), a mutually agreed location, or a location chosen by a party protected by a court order
-
Adds protections for parties who have court orders preventing disclosure of their address to the other parent, allowing them to determine the exchange location
-
Requires the conservator in possession to immediately notify the other conservator (but removes requirement to notify the school) when a child will not be returned to school as scheduled
-
Applies only to court orders rendered on or after September 1, 2025; existing orders remain governed by prior law
