This guy is really making a strong plea to move to Texas to get his kids out of the limelight and, of course, be closer to ex Sandra Bullock...

Jesse James recently testified in an Orange County court that his 6-year-old daughter Sunny "acts out, she's more agitated, she has sleeping problems," since mom Janine Lindemulder was released from a halfway house last month. "The more contact she has with her mom, the more fear she has to sleep in her own room."

Apparently, the custody battle is negatively affecting Sunny - claims James - and she would only benefit from moving to Austin, Texas... in a new home just miles away from Sandra Bullock.

But is this move more for Jesse as opposed to Sunny? Either way, the biker intends to relocate on July 31st.
