Conservatorship In Texas: What To Know

Texas recognizes two types of conservatorships:

Sole managing conservatorships: One parent has the right to make certain critical decisions about the child’s life. It is reserved for circumstances involving domestic abuse, addiction or other impairments preventing the other parent from making these decisions.
 
Joint managing conservatorships: Both parents generally share the rights to make certain decisions over important aspects of their child’s life.
 
Texas courts have the mandate to name parents joint managing conservators whenever possible. Granted, there are some situations in which a joint managing conservatorship does not suit the best interests of the child. In these cases, judges weigh a variety of factors before issuing a possession order.
