§ 153.317. ALTERNATIVE POSSESSION TIMES. If a child is
enrolled in school and the possessory conservator elects before or
at the time of the rendition of the original or modification order,
the standard order must expressly provide that the possessory
conservator's period of possession shall begin or end, or both, at a
different time expressly set in the standard order under and within
the range of alternative times provided by one or both of the
following subdivisions:
(1) instead of a period of possession by a possessory
conservator beginning at 6 p.m. on the day school recesses, the
period of possession may be set in the standard possession order to
begin at the time the child's school is regularly dismissed or at
any time between the time the child's school is regularly dismissed
and 6 p.m.; and
(2) except for Thursday evening possession, instead of
a period of possession by a possessory conservator ending at 6 p.m.
on the day before school resumes, the period of possession may be
set in the standard order to end at the time school resumes.
