A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to notice regarding summer weekend possession of a child
under a standard possession order in a suit affecting the
parent-child relationship.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 153.312, Family Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
(c) Notwithstanding Section 153.316, after receiving notice
from the managing conservator under Subsection (b)(3) of this
section designating the summer weekend during which the managing
conservator is to have possession of the child, the possessory
conservator, not later than the 15th day before the Friday that
begins that designated weekend, must give the managing conservator
written notice of the location at which the managing conservator is
to pick up and return the child.
SECTION 2. Section 153.312(c), Family Code, as added by
this Act, applies only to a court order providing for possession of
or access to a child rendered on or after the effective date of this

is governed by the law in effect on the date the order was rendered,
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
