HB 4942 revises Texas Family Code provisions related to judicial interventions in cases affecting the parent-child relationship. It prohibits courts from requiring children or parties to participate in family violence or child abuse interventions unless the service is evidence-based and proven effective. It also updates judicial training requirements to ensure judges receive specialized education on evaluating the validity of child abuse interventions and family violence programs​.
