The way I read the info in that link, in the case the poster presented, the answer would be, "No, the grandparents could not go to court to get visatation...

In Texas, a court can authorize grandparent visitation of a grandchild if visitation is in the child's best interest, and one of the following circumstances exists:

The parents divorced;
The parent abused or neglected the child;
The parent has been incarcerated, found incompetent, or died;
A court-order terminated the parent-child relationship; or The child has lived with the grandparent for at least six months.

So it sounds like if you are in an intact family and none of the situations mention above exist, the grandparents are SOL...
