On Sunday, March 22, 2020, Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced a Public Health Order that requires residents to stay home except for essential activities, effective at midnight on March 23, 2020.
In response, the family district courts of Dallas County have issued a joint statement, linked here, regarding possession and access to children under the shelter in place order. Court-ordered possession schedules will continue, and exchanges of the children for those possession periods will be considered essential activities.
Further, the statement contains orders for a parent to notify the other parent if that parent or a child has been exposed to or diagnosed with the Covid-19 virus.
This order remains in effect until the expiration of the Dallas County shelter in place order.
