§ 152.203. JURISDICTION TO MODIFY DETERMINATION. Except
as otherwise provided in Section 152.204, a court of this state may
not modify a child custody determination made by a court of another
state unless a court of this state has jurisdiction to make an
initial determination under Section 152.201(a)(1) or (2) and:
(1) the court of the other state determines it no
longer has exclusive continuing jurisdiction under Section 152.202
or that a court of this state would be a more convenient forum under
Section 152.207; or
(2) a court of this state or a court of the other state
determines that the child, the child's parents, and any person
acting as a parent do not presently reside in the other state.
