Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Child custody/no visit with other child

My brother is currently attempting to get custody of his 4yr old child due to the mother's alcohol and drug abuse. However, he also has a 6yr old from another woman and by choice, he does not visit this child (he does pay support).

Is her lawyer allowed to mention the situation with the older child being that it has no bearing on the welfare of the 4yr old? And if so would a judge take that into account with this custody case?
