Foreign custody orders in Texas courts
Texas applies the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act, which treats a foreign country as if it were a US state for jurisdiction and enforcement. A Mexican custody order - a sentencia on guarda y custodia - can therefore be registered and enforced in Texas, provided the court can read it and the foreign proceedings met basic standards.
That makes the translation central: the whole order, the court that made it, the date it became final and any notice to the other parent. Texas Rule of Evidence 1009's 45-day service rule applies when the order is offered at trial.
