Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My son was assaulted by his ex. Her case is going to jury trial next month. Since the assault she's been arrested for PI, DWI and TBAC. Why does she still have the right to see & abuse my 3 yr old gson? Over eleven CPS reports from various sources have been submitted on her. CPS closed her case based on what? who knows.? My son filed for temp restrain order day after assault-judge denied it, lack of written evidence. He has given up, but I haven't. What can we or I do as grandmother to keep my gson out of her reach? She is slowing killing him and will because she believes shes above the law. I've talked to police several times, gone to CPS, Children's Medical, written government officals-still my grandson is forced to be a victim-always beggin me not to make him go to mommys.

Without knowing if the violence you describe against your son was done in the presence of your grandson, you are also alleging your son's ex-wife is abusive to the child. Assuming your allegations are true, your son can initiate a legal suit to modify the terms of his ex-wife's Visitation/Possession/Access under the order. If circumstances have changed since the order was entered and now your grandson is no longer safe visiting his mother without limitations or restriction, it is for the court with continuing exclusive jurisdiction to review the new facts. If the court agrees, the Judge will change the terms of her possession/access/visitation. If you recall additional facts I did not have in providing the answer, call to further discuss:
