Are Rule 11 agreements in family court binding and enforceable?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 2 Texas court opinion(s), including In the Matter of the Marriage of Gertha Marie Chatman and Kraton Dorrell Chatman and In the Interest of A.M.H. and A.L.H., Children. Standing is a jurisdictional threshold that can be cured by the passage of time; a nonparent who fails the six-month residency requirement today may acquire standing through a subsequent filing once the timeframe is met. However, establishing standing does not guarantee custody, as nonparents must overcome the powerful 'parental presumption' with specific evidence of significant impairment to the child, rather than mere 'best interest' comparisons or vague lifestyle grievances.
