In Texas, custody comes down to two main types: joint managing conservatorship and sole managing conservatorship. Joint means both parents make major decisions together—medical, educational, psychological. Sole means one parent has full decision-making authority. Courts default to joint in most cases and always consider what's in the best interest of the child. If your child is 12 or older, they may get a say too. Questions about your custody rights?
