Termination of Parental Rights
As its wording suggests, termination of parental rights is the necessary and final resort to have one’s rights as a parent and legal relationship with their child revoked indefinitely for your child’s benefit, which the courts consider the paramount priority above all.
There are occasions, unfortunate as they are, where the other parent does something that can’t only be characterized as irresponsible but also morally indefensible to their child’s well-being.
For example:
- Abandonment
- Endangerment
- Sexual abuse
- Assault
- Criminal solicitation
- Ongoing Demonstrable exposure to alcohol and controlled substances
Regardless if it’s the result of a divorce or a suit affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR); no justification can warrant such danger and abuse of a child, not the least of all yours.

We Can Help You Take Action
Texas law requires you to file a lawsuit and provide the evidence in Chapter 6 of the Texas Family Code to convince the judge that termination is the best course of action to serve the child’s best interests.
Also, remember that even if the other parent were to surrender their rights voluntarily, the burden of proof would be yours; the standards are high, and the process can be overwhelming if you’re alone.
The Bruman Law Group is ready to help you, and we will be happy to hear about your situation and discuss the appropriate legal action we feel can help you take care of your loved one’s future.
