Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

No.

I disagree with Mark Dunn but I live in the Houston area but I'm in front of a different set of judges.

In the Houston area, some judges don't like it. If you are invovled in a custody case, it could impact which parent could get primary custody. In face, some judges don't think child should be "touched" at all! (I don't agree with that but then I'm not a judge!)

Therefore, I tell people not to use anything but an open hand to spank a child & to only hit their "bottom". For example, no face slaps and never leave a red spot or a bruise.

I would talk to an experienced family law attorney in your county.
