Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I filed a Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship in Hays County, TX. I live in Caldwell County, TX and the judge denied my jurisdiction based on improper filing. The actions which brought about the suit originated in Hays County, the Mother boarding a train to Michigan with child and refusing to return. What I can do to remedy this? She has filed suit in Michigan as well. Can I keep my original filing date if transferred? Where can I find instructions on how to file a trial de novo?
