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
