§ 157.373. RELATOR RELINQUISHED POSSESSION;  TEMPORARY 
ORDERS.  (a) If the relator has by consent or acquiescence 
relinquished actual possession and control of the child for not 
less than 6 months preceding the date of the filing of the petition 
for the writ, the court may either compel or refuse to order return 
of the child.
	(b)  The court may disregard brief periods of possession and 
control by the relator during the 6-month period.
	(c)  In a suit in which the court does not compel return of 
the child, the court may issue temporary orders under Chapter 105 if 
a suit affecting the parent-child relationship is pending and the 
parties have received notice of a hearing on temporary orders set 
for the same time as the habeas corpus proceeding.
