Custody is an issue of family law. In the US, family law is determined by the individual states, and varies greatly from state to state. Some states allow juries to hear custody issues, while others require that a judge make this determination.
Yes, you can request a jury trial for custody cases in Texas. I am in fact going through one at this moment, and as a fathr fighting for custody, I believe that this is the ONLY way to go. I raised my daughter from birth until now, and when I went to sue for the custodial rights, the judge gave the mother temp custody pending final trial. Although I had documentation proving that she was not the one giving primary care for the last 4 years, and it was I. He ordered the removal of her from my home, I went from having her Mon-Fri to every weekend. Injustice at its best. Go jury trial if you are a fatehr for sure.

You generally don't have a right to a trial by jury in a child custody case; it would be a bench trial where the judge tries the case. It is still a trial on the merits, however, because evidence and defenses based on what is important in the substantive law are heard, and factual disputes are decided.
