The article discusses how to deal with a parent who continually misses visitation or is sporadic in their visitation. While this type of behavior may be irritating to you, it is devastating for the child. You have to do the best you can to look out for the best interests of your child while not offending the Texas Court.
If the problem becomes too much to handle, then typically your only resource would be to petition the Court to modify the order and adjust the visitation accordingly.

I realize that this is an old post, but I appreciate finding this article here.
It is very frustrating when the other parent frequently misses visitation, especially when they have more important things to do during their scheduled visitation. Yet somehow s/he has the time to excercise that visitation during a special occasion, which in turn causes the child to miss out on something special with the custodial family by whom s/he is cared for consistently.
