She beleives he isd on drugs, but does not have any tangable proof. She wants to order a court ordered drug test, if he fails is that enough to revoke joint custody in texas

It always depends upon all of the factors involved, and the court she is in; but GENERALLY, if a party fails a drug test for hard drugs, the court will impose restrictions and/or supervision until the parent produces 2-3 clean tests. It varies from case to case.
No case is won or lost on one thing. A case is built like a brick wall - one brick at a time.
Your friend needs an experienced family law attorney to represent her.
You are asking complex legal questions that should not be answered via email. Your friend needs to sit down with her attorney and discuss all her options face-to-face.
Also, I doubt that your friend understands what joint custody means in Texas. The important thing in Texas is "rights and duties" which is totally different than joint custody. So, therefore, your friend REALLY needs an attorney.
