In Texas, the court will make child custody decisions based on what is in the "best interest" of the child if the parents can't come to an agreement. Courts will presume that joint legal custody- called "conservatorship" is best, unless you can prove otherwise. In deciding which parent should have primary physical custody, the court will consider:
* The history of contact between the parents and the child
* The health, safety and welfare of the child
* The mental and physical health of the parents, and how close they live to each other
* The preference of a child age 12 or older
* Evidence of child abuse
Texas laws encourage the parents to work out custody arrangements themselves instead of bringing the matter to court.
After the custody order is signed by the judge and filed with the court clerk, both parents are bound by it. If a parent is denied court-ordered access to a child, he or she may bring the issue back before the court. The judge may decide to modify the visitation order and order makeup visitation for the time missed.

Genearlly speaking, courts tend to leave children in the custody of their birth mother, unless there is some reason to thinl that such an arrangement may be harmful to the child. The birth father does have a right to at least some visitation as long as he contributes to the support of the child and is ruled as a fit parent.

My suggestion to her is to file with Attorney General. This will establish custody, child support and visitation. Makes it all legal without paying a lawyer.
