What's the legal age for child's reguest-Texas?

[Kim Dunlap]

My step son would like to come live with us. His mom has custody at the present. We have been told 16,12, & 10 is the legal age that a child can go to court and request to live with either parent. Do anyone know the real law? We live in Texas.

Couln't look up that site on the web. It said it was unavailable. Please recheck the address and send it. I may try calling an attorney in my home town and asking. Thanks!

Funny, it worked when I clicked the url line that I posted.
The site may have been down earlier also.
