STATEMENT REGARDING PERIODS OF POSSESSION AND ACCESS UNDER THE TEXAS FAMILY CODE

Due to the extraordinary situation presented by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) concerns, questions and confusion have arisen regarding the interpretation of periods of possession/visitation in both Final Orders and Temporary Orders rendered out of the above noted Court. For that reason, this Court now issues this statement of clarification:

For purposes of all orders issued out of the above noted Court, the Spring Break Vacation period ends at 6 p.m. on Sunday, March 15, 2020. Any decision by any school or school district to delay resumption of classes (whether characterized as a “closure,” an “extended delay,” an “extended Spring Break,” or an “extended vacation”) is considered to be a closure for public health purposes and not an extension of a vacation period.

As always, the parties to a case may agree to alter the period of possession and access. If the parties agree to do so, the Court would urge the parties to set out the terms of their agreement in writing and have it signed by all parties.
