The legislature has established what is called the “Standard Possession Order.” It is set forth in the Texas Family Code, and provides for the person who does not have the children living with him or her to have possession of the children on the first, third and fifth weekends of each month, plus Thursday evenings during the school year, alternating holidays and a month in the summer. The extended possession adds pickup at school when school gets out before the weekend, and an overnight on Sunday and Thursday nights during the school year. A couple can also agree to a different schedule such as every other weekend.
