§ 61.0031. TRANSFER OF ORDER AFFECTING PARENT OR OTHER
ELIGIBLE PERSON TO COUNTY OF CHILD'S RESIDENCE. (a) This section
applies only when:
(1) a juvenile court has placed a parent or other
eligible person under a court order under this chapter;
(2) the child who was the subject of the juvenile court
proceedings in which the order was entered:
(A) resides in a county other than the county in
which the order was entered;
(B) has moved to a county other than the county in
which the order was entered and intends to remain in that county for
at least 60 days; or
(C) intends to move to a county other than the
county in which the order was entered and to remain in that county
for at least 60 days; and
(3) the parent or other eligible person resides or
will reside in the same county as the county in which the child now
resides or to which the child has moved or intends to move.
(b) A juvenile court that enters an order described by
Subsection (a)(1) may transfer the order to the juvenile court of
the county in which the parent now resides or to which the parent
has moved or intends to move.
(c) The juvenile court shall provide the parent or other
eligible person written notice of the transfer. The notification
must identify the court to which the order has been transferred.
(d) The juvenile court to which the order has been
transferred shall require the parent or other eligible person to
appear before the court to notify the person of the existence and
terms of the order. Failure to do so renders the order
unenforceable.
(e) If the notice required by Subsection (d) is provided,
the juvenile court to which the order has been transferred may
modify, extend, or enforce the order as though the court originally
entered the order.
