This is the most current TX Family Statute which relates to mandatory contents of final order...Good bedtime reading...nite-nite. Chapters 161/162 are specific to TPR and Adoption respectively.
§ 105.006. CONTENTS OF FINAL ORDER. (a) A final order,
other than in a proceeding under Chapter 161 or 162, must contain:
(1) the social security number and driver's license
number of each party to the suit, including the child, except that
the child's social security number or driver's license number is not
required if the child has not been assigned a social security number
or driver's license number; and
(2) each party's current residence address, mailing
address, home telephone number, name of employer, address of
employment, and work telephone number, except as provided by
Subsection (c).
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), the court shall
order each party to inform each other party, the court that rendered
the order, and the state case registry under Chapter 234 of an
intended change in any of the information required by this section
as long as any person, as a result of the order, is under an
obligation to pay child support or is entitled to possession of or
access to a child. The court shall order that notice of the
intended change be given at the earlier of:
(1) the 60th day before the date the party intends to
make the change; or
(2) the fifth day after the date that the party knew of
the change, if the party did not know or could not have known of the
change in sufficient time to comply with Subdivision (1).
(c) If a court finds after notice and hearing that requiring
a party to provide the information required by this section to
another party is likely to cause the child or a conservator
harassment, abuse, serious harm, or injury, the court may:
(1) order the information not to be disclosed to
another party; or
(2) render any other order the court considers
necessary.
(d) An order in a suit that orders child support or
possession of or access to a child must contain the following
prominently displayed statement in boldfaced type, capital
letters, or underlined:
"FAILURE TO OBEY A COURT ORDER FOR CHILD SUPPORT OR FOR
POSSESSION OF OR ACCESS TO A CHILD MAY RESULT IN FURTHER LITIGATION
TO ENFORCE THE ORDER, INCLUDING CONTEMPT OF COURT. A FINDING OF
CONTEMPT MAY BE PUNISHED BY CONFINEMENT IN JAIL FOR UP TO SIX
MONTHS, A FINE OF UP TO $500 FOR EACH VIOLATION, AND A MONEY
JUDGMENT FOR PAYMENT OF ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COURT COSTS."
"FAILURE OF A PARTY TO MAKE A CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT TO THE
PLACE AND IN THE MANNER REQUIRED BY A COURT ORDER MAY RESULT IN THE
PARTY NOT RECEIVING CREDIT FOR MAKING THE PAYMENT."
"FAILURE OF A PARTY TO PAY CHILD SUPPORT DOES NOT JUSTIFY
DENYING THAT PARTY COURT-ORDERED POSSESSION OF OR ACCESS TO A
CHILD. REFUSAL BY A PARTY TO ALLOW POSSESSION OF OR ACCESS TO A
CHILD DOES NOT JUSTIFY FAILURE TO PAY COURT-ORDERED CHILD SUPPORT
TO THAT PARTY."
(e) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an order in a suit
that orders child support or possession of or access to a child must
also contain the following prominently displayed statement in
boldfaced type, capital letters, or underlined:

EACH OTHER PARTY, THE COURT, AND THE STATE CASE REGISTRY OF ANY
CHANGE IN THE PARTY'S CURRENT RESIDENCE ADDRESS, MAILING ADDRESS,
HOME TELEPHONE NUMBER, NAME OF EMPLOYER, ADDRESS OF EMPLOYMENT,
DRIVER'S LICENSE NUMBER, AND WORK TELEPHONE NUMBER. THE PARTY IS
ORDERED TO GIVE NOTICE OF AN INTENDED CHANGE IN ANY OF THE REQUIRED
INFORMATION TO EACH OTHER PARTY, THE COURT, AND THE STATE CASE
REGISTRY ON OR BEFORE THE 60TH DAY BEFORE THE INTENDED CHANGE. IF
THE PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR COULD NOT HAVE KNOWN OF THE CHANGE IN
SUFFICIENT TIME TO PROVIDE 60-DAY NOTICE, THE PARTY IS ORDERED TO
GIVE NOTICE OF THE CHANGE ON OR BEFORE THE FIFTH DAY AFTER THE DATE
THAT THE PARTY KNOWS OF THE CHANGE."
"THE DUTY TO FURNISH THIS INFORMATION TO EACH OTHER PARTY,
THE COURT, AND THE STATE CASE REGISTRY CONTINUES AS LONG AS ANY
PERSON, BY VIRTUE OF THIS ORDER, IS UNDER AN OBLIGATION TO PAY CHILD
SUPPORT OR ENTITLED TO POSSESSION OF OR ACCESS TO A CHILD."
"FAILURE BY A PARTY TO OBEY THE ORDER OF THIS COURT TO PROVIDE
EACH OTHER PARTY, THE COURT, AND THE STATE CASE REGISTRY WITH THE
CHANGE IN THE REQUIRED INFORMATION MAY RESULT IN FURTHER LITIGATION
TO ENFORCE THE ORDER, INCLUDING CONTEMPT OF COURT. A FINDING OF
CONTEMPT MAY BE PUNISHED BY CONFINEMENT IN JAIL FOR UP TO SIX
MONTHS, A FINE OF UP TO $500 FOR EACH VIOLATION, AND A MONEY
JUDGMENT FOR PAYMENT OF ATTORNEY'S FEES AND COURT COSTS."
(e-1) An order in a suit that provides for the possession of
or access to a child must contain the following prominently
displayed statement in boldfaced type, in capital letters, or
underlined:
"NOTICE TO ANY PEACE OFFICER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: YOU MAY
USE REASONABLE EFFORTS TO ENFORCE THE TERMS OF CHILD CUSTODY
SPECIFIED IN THIS ORDER. A PEACE OFFICER WHO RELIES ON THE TERMS OF
A COURT ORDER AND THE OFFICER'S AGENCY ARE ENTITLED TO THE
APPLICABLE IMMUNITY AGAINST ANY CLAIM, CIVIL OR OTHERWISE,
REGARDING THE OFFICER'S GOOD FAITH ACTS PERFORMED IN THE SCOPE OF
THE OFFICER'S DUTIES IN ENFORCING THE TERMS OF THE ORDER THAT RELATE
TO CHILD CUSTODY. ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY PRESENTS FOR ENFORCEMENT
AN ORDER THAT IS INVALID OR NO LONGER IN EFFECT COMMITS AN OFFENSE
THAT MAY BE PUNISHABLE BY CONFINEMENT IN JAIL FOR AS LONG AS TWO
YEARS AND A FINE OF AS MUCH AS $10,000."
