When ‘Dangerous’ Sparks Automatic Parental Rights Termination

2023-10-04T18:20:51+00:00

The State of Texas can terminate your rights as a parent even if you did not do anything to put your child in actual danger. This harsh reality is something that most people in Texas are entirely unaware of. “Child endangerment” is a term nobody ever wants to hear used against them. But in Texas, a parent can have their children removed and their rights terminated even if this “endangerment” never actually placed their child in danger.

Recently, we have been celebrating the parental rights bills the Texas Legislature passed, which the Governor signed into law to protect Texas families.
