Filing for Temporary Orders: Either parent can file a request for temporary custody orders. This request initiates the process and schedules the initial custody hearing. The filing parent must provide detailed information about their desired custody arrangement and any pertinent facts about the child's situation.
In most cases, a Temporary Order will last until the final order – either a Final Decree of Divorce (the document that divorces spouses) or Final Order in Suit Affecting or Modifying the Parent-Child Relationship (the final document in a custody case).

A parent can sign an “authorization agreement” form to give a nonparent the authority to care for and make decisions for a child. An authorization agreement lets a nonparent make decisions for a child without going to court.
In Texas, emergency custody can be granted if you can prove that your child is in immediate danger, such as from physical or sexual abuse, or drug/alcohol abuse by the parent. Verbal or emotional abuse usually does not qualify as a sufficient reason for emergency custody.
In Texas, a TRO lasts for 14 days or until your temporary orders hearing, whichever is first. But what about after the hearing? If a set of temporary orders worked for all family members, then the court might choose to turn the temporary order into a permanent or final order to finalize the divorce.
