245th Judicial District Court Standing Order Regarding Children, Pets, Property and Conduct of the Parties. This standing order is binding on (1) the parties, (2) the parties' officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and (3) any other person who acts in concert with the parties or their agents and who receives actual notice of these orders, and is enforceable by contempt of court, including fine and/or imprisonment. No party to the lawsuit has requested this order; rather, it is a standing order of the 245th Judicial District Court whose jurisdiction includes cases arising under the Texas Family Code, and it applies in every divorce suit and every suit affecting the parent-child relationship filed in Harris County heard in the 245th. 1. NO DISRUPTION OF CHILDREN: all parties are ORDERED to refrain from: 1.1 removing the children from the State of Texas to change residence or evade jurisdiction without written agreement of both parties or a court order (subject to rights under an active prior order); 1.2 disrupting or withdrawing the children from their current school or day-care without written agreement of both parents or a court order; 1.3 hiding or secreting the children from the other party; 1.4 changing the children's current place of abode without written agreement of all parties or a court order (subject to rights under an active prior order).
