Summer Plans?
Make sure your court schedule is set
Spring is in full swing, and for Texas parents, that means it's time to plan for summer possession. Many family court orders require parents to select their summer schedules early, and missing these deadlines can limit your options.
- April 1 – Non-primary parent's deadline if the primary parent hasn't chosen
- April 15 – Primary (custodial) parent's deadline to designate summer possession
Every order is different, so check yours carefully. Pay attention to:
- The exact deadlines for your summer designations
- How notice must be given (email, text, or written notice)
- How many days or weeks you may select
Taking a few minutes now to review your order and mark your calendar can save headaches later. If you're unsure about your rights or need guidance, the team at Katie L. Lewis, P.C. Family Law is ready to help you plan a smooth summer schedule.

Choosing the Right Support
Before Deadlines Decide for You
With summer possession deadlines quickly approaching, the decisions you make now can directly impact the time you have with your children. Yet many parents are left wondering: Do I handle this on my own, hire aggressively, or is there a better approach?
Divorce and custody matters aren't just legal. They shape your family's future. The right support can mean the difference between clarity and confusion, stability and conflict.
At Katie L. Lewis, P.C. Family Law, we take a thoughtful, strategic approach—balancing strong legal advocacy with emotional intelligence. To help you make an informed decision, we've created a Representation Matrix that clearly compares:
- DIY Divorce
- Our negotiation-first, client-centered approach
- Traditional aggressive litigation
This guide is designed to give you clarity. Especially when timing matters most. Start by downloading the Representation Matrix to understand your options before critical deadlines pass.
Then, if you're unsure how your situation fits in, or want to protect your time with your children. We invite you to schedule a confidential consultation. We'll help you take the next step with confidence and a clear plan.
