Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My 30 yr. old daughter passed away in Houston, TX on 2/24/2010. I live in Chicago. I came to Houston to make arrangements for the funeral. My daughter has 4 children: 16, 13, 2, and 1 month. For 8 yrs, I had PMC of the 2 eldest children, when they were young (Houston).

The boyfriend and father of the 2 yr old kidnapped the children from their home, (where my 20 yr old daughter also lived and cared for the children) and wouldn't return them. In addition, he has 3 charges of bodily injury to a child w/intent. He gave my grandson a black eye on 3/11/2010. He stole my daughter's car and other things. 3 reports of abuse & neglect were made from 3/6-3/11/2010, yet CPS tells me I should get a lawyer, because their plan is for the children to remain in his care.

What can I do? What and where do I file for custody?

Sounds like you need a pit-bull. I highly recommend PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405. Talk to Jessica in her office. Tell them that FRAN sent you.

Good luck!

I'm sorry for your loss.
