Not all states make allowances for the rights of grandparents to see or visit with their grandchildren. This is a somewhat new trend in child custody and family law, and is still evolving to address some fairly serious scenarios. For example, grandparents' rights in Texas are determined by many different factors. Although all grandparents have the right to file for visitation, there are some rigid conditions under which a judge can approve or deny access. For instance, the grandchild's best interest is something the court reviews as well as the status of the relationship between the child's parents. If either parent's parental rights have been terminated by a court order, the grandparents' rights in Texas tend to be terminated along with them.
