No, minors have no legal "standing" in their own custody matters. Their input is sometimes asked and listened to, but the court is the final decision-maker. The Grandparents can petition the court for your custody, but they would have to be prepared to demonstrate why their custody would be better for your situation than what you currently have.

How do you get temporary custody of your kids in Texas?
You file for it in the court of jurisdiction (where the children legally reside). If emergency circumstances apply, you can apply for an emergency petition (called an ex parte order in most jurisdictions). In either case, an ex parte may be granted immediately if justified but a hearing will eventually take place as well as an investigation and whether temporary custody is granted and if so, the period of time allowed, or not will depend on the judge's ruling.
