Digest
HB 5628 amends Section 153.002 of the Texas Family Code to clarify that the best interest of the child is the primary consideration for courts when making decisions regarding conservatorship, possession, and access to a child. It specifically emphasizes that this standard applies in suits filed by governmental entities under Subtitle E, Title 5 of the Family Code. The bill states that this change is intended only as a clarification of existing law, rather than a substantive change.
