TX HB3515

Courts cannot require a child to participate in parental reunification therapy (any therapy, program, camp, or service intended to repair a child's relationship with a parent) without consent from both parents

Prohibited reunification therapy practices include: cutting off contact between the child and their other parent, conservators, or close family members; overnight stays or out-of-state travel with the reunifying parent; temporary custody transfers to the reunifying parent; and use of force, threats, verbal abuse, or isolation

Parental reunification therapy providers must operate under a signed service contract that includes explicit details of processes, protocols, and procedures, with all participating parties fully informed before signing

Parties may file a motion to vacate or modify court orders that violate these provisions, or seek judicial review of such decisions

The Act's passage constitutes sufficient grounds to modify existing court orders involving child possession or access rendered before the effective date
