Understanding Conservatorship and Child Custody

CLM created this infographic to help explain the concept of conservatorship and child custody in the context of Texas law. It distinguishes between “conservatorship” and “possession,” which are terms used instead of “child custody” and “physical custody,” respectively. It outlines three types of conservatorships and the criteria for obtaining a conservatorship order. The infographic is an educational resource that urges parents to seek legal assistance in child custody conservatorship cases.
