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.

It will be assumed for the purposes of this answer that a court trial has been conducted and that the jury of that trial is currently in deliberation: If that is the situation, one side or the other may have requested a "status of the jury" hearing with the judge with an eye towards possibly filing a motion for a "hung jury." If that accurately summarizes the situation, then BOTH sides would have to be present at the hearing, each to appropriately represent THEIR side of the case, and give argument to the judge either in favor of, or in opposition to, the motion.
