Full text
(a) A party initiates enforcement of a juvenile court order by filing a written motion. In ordinary and concise language, the motion must:
(1) identify the provision of the order allegedly violated and sought to be enforced;
(2) state specifically and factually the manner of the person's alleged noncompliance;
(3) state the relief requested; and
(4) contain the signature of the party filing the motion.
(b) The movant must allege in the same motion for enforcement each violation by the person of the juvenile court orders described by Section 61.002(a) that the movant had a reasonable basis for believing the person was violating when the motion was filed.
(c) The juvenile court retains jurisdiction to enter a contempt order if the motion for enforcement is filed not later than six months after the child's 18th birthday.
