How does mediation work in Texas?

Sources · last reviewed 2026-10-07

  • Court programs and when mediation is required

    Texas law lets a court refer a pending civil case to mediation or another dispute resolution procedure, on its own motion or a party's, after conferring with the parties [1]. A party may object in writing within 10 days, and the court may not make the referral if it finds a reasonable basis for the objection [1].

  • Family and custody cases

    To be appointed, a mediator generally needs at least 40 classroom hours of dispute resolution training, plus 24 more hours for cases involving the parent-child relationship, though a court may appoint someone based on other professional training or experience [1]. In divorce and custody cases, courts may refer the case to mediation, and a mediated settlement agreement that meets statutory requirements is binding [3][4].

  • Who can mediate in Texas courts

    Each court in a county of 25,000 or more people must keep a list of persons registered with it to serve as mediators [2].
