Can a Texas court restrict or suspend visitation rights without proving the parent is dangerous?

Question

Accepted Answer

This question has been addressed in 2 Texas court opinion(s), including In re Tereza Kacerova. Be aware that "self-executing" or "automatic suspension" clauses in a court order are powerful and enforceable. If your right to see your child is conditioned on specific behaviors—such as following language requirements or avoiding disparaging remarks—violating those terms can legally extinguish your right to possession before you even get to court, making it impossible to use emergency legal remedies like a writ of habeas corpus.
