The Standard Possession Order, in plain terms

Texas law presumes the Standard Possession Order provides reasonable minimum possession: first/third/fifth weekends, Thursday periods during the school term, alternating holidays, and extended summer possession — with an elected expanded schedule tied to school dismissal, and a long-distance variant over 100 miles.

The honesty note

The presumption is rebuttable and courts tailor orders to the child; the rendered order and the school calendar control.
