No, not without the other parent being found in contempt of court if the father decides to file such an action. That can lead to the mother incurring fines, jail time and even custody modification to favor the father if the contempt becomes chronic.

However, Texas is unique in that it greatly encourages children to make their wishes known to the court regarding custody and visitation and if the child is age 12 and older, the law mandates a judge must meet with the child in chambers to discuss just that. Since your son is not yet 12, it isn't legally required, but the judge will take the child's wishes into consideration if they are conveyed to the court but will ultimately rule in favor of what he/she feels is in the best interests of the child.
