Termination of Parental Rights in Texas

For an adoption to be legally completed, the biological parent(s) must have their parental rights terminated. This can happen voluntarily (when a parent consents) or involuntarily (if the court determines it’s in the child’s best interest).

Our attorneys provide strong legal representation to navigate this process, especially in cases where parental rights must be contested due to issues such as abandonment, neglect, or unfitness to parent.
