Supreme Court of Texas

A petition for writ of mandamus challenging a trial court order granting a grandparent "possession" of a child for certain periods over the objection of the mother is conditionally granted where there was no evidence that the child's mother was unfit, that the child's health or emotional well-being would suffer if the court deferred to her decisions, or that the mother intended to exclude the grandmother's access completely.
