Why League City Families Choose Scott M. Brown & Associates
Custody decisions affect what happens with your children every day, not just in a courtroom. Where they live, who makes decisions about school and healthcare, and how time is divided between parents get decided together, often under real time pressure. League City parents need attorneys who move as fast as the situation demands.
We prepare Galveston County custody cases thoroughly, well before anything reaches a courtroom. Strong outcomes at the Galveston County Justice Center come from organized records, a clear strategy, and preparation that starts at the first meeting, not the week before trial.
You can reach us, and you will know where your case stands. The difference clients describe is responsiveness: calls returned, questions answered in plain English, and no wondering for weeks what is happening with their children’s case.
We are built for the custody cases that are not simple. High-conflict disputes, cases involving family violence or CPS, relocation when a parent’s job moves, and modifications after a material life change all run through this firm. When your case has moving parts, the work has to match.
Our case results reflect the preparation behind them. Every case is different, and the facts drive the outcome, not promises made in a consultation. What we can commit to is thorough preparation and honest advocacy at every stage. Our published case results show what that preparation has meant for families we have represented in Galveston County.

What to Expect When You Call
Our consultation is built around three things you need before any decisions get made:
- We listen first. Tell us what is going on with your children and your custody situation. The short version is fine, and we will ask the questions that matter.
- We explain what Texas law says. In plain English, with no lecture and no scare tactics.
- We map your next step. You will leave knowing what comes next: filing, responding to a petition, gathering records, or taking time to think it through.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where will my League City custody case be filed?
Custody cases for League City residents are typically filed in Galveston County, based on where the child has primarily lived for the past six months under Texas home-state jurisdiction rules. New petitions are filed with the District Clerk at the Galveston County Justice Center, 600 59th Street, Galveston, TX 77551, and the case is assigned to one of the Galveston County District Courts at the same address.
I live in the part of League City that is in Harris County. Does that change anything?
A small portion of League City north of Clear Creek falls in Harris County rather than Galveston County. Which county has jurisdiction over your custody case depends on where your child actually lives, not on your League City mailing address. We represent clients on both sides of that line and can confirm which county applies to your case at your consultation.
Can the possession schedule account for Clear Creek ISD or Dickinson ISD school calendars?
Yes. The Texas Standard Possession Order uses a general school-year framework that does not always align with Clear Creek ISD or Dickinson ISD calendars, including early-release days, district-specific holidays, and extended spring breaks. Courts in Galveston County regularly approve modified schedules when both parents agree, and attorneys can argue for a customized schedule when they do not. We address the school calendar from the start of every Galveston County custody case.
