No, there are no legal right giving grandparents visitation rights in Texas. A grandparent can petition the court but the court will only hear the case under certain circumstances such as the death of a parent or incarceration.

In Texas, grandparents do not have automatic legal rights to visit their grandchildren. However, they may petition the court for visitation rights under certain circumstances, such as if the grandchild's parent is deceased, incarcerated, or if it is in the child's best interest to have visitation with the grandparent.
