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, 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 |
|
|
