Child's Choice of Managing Conservator (custodial or primary residential parent)
If the child is 10 years of age or older, the child may, by writing filed with the court, choose the managing conservator, subject to the approval of the court. TEX.FAM.CODE ANN. § 153.008. The court retains discretion to determine whether to honor the child's choice. Further, in a non-jury trial the court may interview the child in chambers to determine the child's wishes as to conservatorship. TEX.FAM.CODE ANN. § 153.009. Upon the request of a party, the court must interview the child.
This is up to the judge. The Texas law does not specifically address this. But, there are alternatives. see links

Do you have to pay child support if the mother is in prison and the grand parents have the child and won't let you see the child?

Who gets custody if both parents die but they are divorced and I live with my dad and my brother lives with my mom?
If a person is designated as the custodian in the parents' will(s), then that person is likely to be granted the custody. If however, there was no will, or no custodian specified in the will, then, then the court can appoint a custodian of its own choice. Usually, any of the relatives - uncles, aunts, grand parents, step parents, and even friends and strangers can apply for the custody. It is the responsibility of the court to choose the custodian. In case there are no will, or no custodian specified, and no petitions, then the court may put the children in foster care. This answer is actually independent of the marital status of the parents, and which child is living with whom at the time of the parents' death.
