TRANSFER OF ORDER AFFECTING PARENT OR OTHER ELIGIBLE PERSON TO COUNTY OF CHILD'S RESIDENCE. (a) This section applies only when: (1) a juvenile court has placed a parent or other eligible person under a court order under this chapter; (2) the child who was the subject of the juvenile court proceedings in which the order was entered: (A) resides in a county other than the county in which the order was entered; (B) has moved to a county other than the county in which the order was entered and intends to remain in that county for at least 60 days; or (C) intends to move to a county other than the county in which the order was entered and to remain in that county for at least 60 days; and (3) the parent or other eligible person resides or will reside in the same county as the county in which the child now resides or to which the child has moved or intends to move. (b) A juvenile court that enters an order described by Subsection (a)(1) may transfer the order to the juvenile court of the county in which the parent now resides or to which the parent has moved or intends to move. (c) The juvenile court shall provide the parent or other eligible person written notice of the transfer. The notification must identify the court to which the order has been transferred.

Failure to do so renders the order unenforceable. (e) If the notice required by Subsection (d) is provided, the juvenile court to which the order has been transferred may modify, extend, or enforce the order as though the court originally entered the order.
