Texas Supreme Court May 27, 2005, 03-1154 (Powell v. Stover)

Justice O’NEILL

delivered the opinion of the Court.

This is an initial child-custody case in which both Texas and Tennessee claim jurisdiction. We must decide whether Texas is the child’s “home state” for purposes of the Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction and Enforcement Act (UCCJEA), and thus whether the Texas trial court properly assumed jurisdiction over the case.
