AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - The federal law President Bush signed to prolong Terri Schiavo's life in Florida appears to conflict with a Texas law he signed as governor, attorneys familiar with the legislation said Monday.
The 1999 Advance Directives Act in Texas allows for a patient's surrogate to make end-of-life decisions and spells out how to proceed if a hospital or other health provider disagrees with a decision to maintain or halt life-sustaining treatment.
If a doctor refuses to honor a decision, the case goes before a medical committee
Actually... TXlaw made a mistake
Actually, TXlaw is mistaken, albeit perhaps with good intentions. You need to file a SAPCR (Suit Affecting Parent Child Relationship) in ALL divorce cases (or transfer an existing or previous SAPCR to the court handling the divorce).
Indeed, divorce is the only time that filing a SAPCR is mandatory under Texas law. If you have a child without getting married, you may live forever without a court order defining the parents' respective rights to a child born outside of marriage (although you SHOULD go ahead and file a SAPCR to avoid confusion and disputes later on). But if you have a child in marriage and get a divorce, you MUST file a SAPCR to determine conservatorship and support of the child
