Texas Grandparents Have Rights

At this time, grandparents may petition Texas courts for visitation or custody if any of the following circumstances apply:

  • The child's parent has been incarcerated during the three months prior to the petition
  • The child's parent dies or is determined legally incompetent
  • The child has been a victim of domestic violence or neglect
  • The child's parents have had their parental rights terminated
  • The child has been determined a delinquent in need of supervision
  • The child's parents are divorced, separated for more than three months, or in the process of divorce
  • The child has resided with the grandparent for at least six months of the 24 month period preceding filing a petition

Every Child Deserves the Affection Only a Grandparent Can Offer

At Von Blon & Associates, we understand that visits with grandparents are a key part of a child's development. We also know that situations exist where the child of an unfit parent needs to be in a place where he or she is loved, cared for and nurtured. We encourage grandparents to contact our office as soon as a concern arises for powerful representation focused on establishing or maintaining the well-being of a child.
