Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Child visitations

If my 14 year old child does not want to visit father during summer. Can she legally refuse if it is stated on the divorce decree that he has visitations?

We are appointed joint conservators. It is also stated that I as a parent joint managing conservator,shall have the exclusive rights and duties: the right to establish the primary residence of the child.
