HB 2160 amends the Family Code regarding the interview of a child in suits affecting the parent-child relationship. It allows a court to interview children 12 years of age or older outside chambers to determine their preferences on conservatorship or residence, with certain procedural protections like sealing records unless an appeal is filed. It also modifies procedures for temporary orders and final modifications to consider a child's expressed preferences.
