Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My ex wife refuses to take my child to the doctor. She is 6, has been running a low fever for over 2 weeks, is throwing up and has visible rings and bags under her eyes. The only day I am able to take her in is Monday. I legally only have her until 1800 Sunday night. What can I do? My daughter needs to see a doctor.

There must be a reason. You don't have a family friend or family member that is willing to help out and take her in? If the child is truly sick - then PrimaCare and hospital ERs are open on Sundays, and you have the right and the duty as a conservator to seek medical attention for her. Hopefully you have been proactive and resolved this matter by now. If you believe your daughter is being neglected at home, then you can seek a modification of the orders - be sure you have 'clean hands'.
