Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

You don't need a police report. In fact, if you call the police, they probably won't help you (although they have been known to "assist" fathers in getting their children by going up to Mom's front door with Dad, and acting in an intimidating fashion).

Remember that your testimony is good evidence. "I went to Jennifer's house at 6:00 pm on July 1 to pick up my children. I arrived at 5:58 pm. I knocked on the door. Jennifer came to the door and refused to surrender the children."

Since filing a false police report is a crime, filing a police report helps bolster your testimony. You can be sure that your husband's attorney will ask if you filed a police report. However, your testimony will operate as evidence to prove your allegations.
