**Tex. Fam. Code § 156.106. MODIFICATION OF ORDER BASED ON DEATH OF CONSERVATOR.** (a) The death of a person who is a conservator of a child is a material and substantial change of circumstances sufficient to justify a temporary order and modification of an existing court order or portion of a decree that provides for the appointment of a conservator or that sets the terms and conditions of conservatorship or for the possession of or access to the child. (b) Before modifying an order under Section 156.101 based on a material and substantial change of circumstances described by Subsection (a), the court must consider any term or condition of the order or portion of a decree that denies possession of the child to a parent or imposes restrictions or limitations on the parent's right to possession of or access to the child. The court may include those restrictions or limitations in a modification of the order if the court finds that the restrictions or limitations continue to be in the best interest of the child. Added by Acts 2021, 87th Leg., R.S., Ch. 672 (H.B. 1849), Sec. 2, eff. September 1, 2021.
