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.

If not, then no, not for a minor child, not without the permission of the parent with sole or joint legal custody. There are different types of custody, physical and legal. Check your custody order before you proceed to get an answer, or contact an attorney.
