Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

You have the right to go get them. If she won't turn them over, then first, go to the police station nearest her home and tell them that you are going to her house to get your children and ask for a civil standby. That should do the trick. If not, then you may have to file an application for a writ of habeas corpus against your mother.

If the children have been living with her for more than 6 months (Tex. Family Code section 102.003(a)(9)) or of she can convince a judge that your living environment would pose a significant risk to the physical safety or emotional well-being of the children (Tex. Family Code section 102.004), she would have standing to file suit and seek custody (conservatorship) of the children.

Good luck!!
