Grounds for Termination of Parental Rights
In Texas, the laws surrounding parental rights are quite complex. There are a number of circumstances that may lead to the court threatening you with termination. For example, if you were accused of abandoning your child or leaving them in a dangerous situation, your child could be taken away from you. It is very important to take action at the soonest notice. DFPS cases move quickly, so you should begin fighting right away.
