Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I was looking up the status of my child custody papers under the status it said "trial on merits" what does that mean. My divorce was final in another state but my children were born in texas so they took jurisdiction. I live in Houston TX Harris county.

You have given incomplete information.

I assume that you looked up your case on-line at the courthouse.

Trial on the merits means that there is a trial pending or that a trial occurred on a certain date.

You definately need to talk to an attorney pronto!
