What is a Standard Possession Order (SPO) in Texas?

Posted by Bobby Dale BarinaMar 19, 20250 Comments

Texas courts often start with a Standard Possession Order to set parenting time when parents live within 100 miles of each other.

This schedule includes:

  • 1st, 3rd, and 5th weekends
  • Thursdays during the school year
  • Alternating holidays and summer vacation

Barina Law Group helps Temple parents understand SPO rights, request modifications, or propose alternate schedules when needed.

Variations include:

  • Expanded SPO: adds overnight Thursdays and longer summer time
  • Custom orders for unique work or school schedules
  • Restrictions for supervised or limited visitation
