Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Birth mother Signed over rights to a family friend of my new born son and never was told he was even was even born. They filed A suit to affect Parent Child Relationship, and Temporary orders for Custody. The Mother never told me she signed over rights and never gave me the option to get my son. I went to the Non custodial Parents House with the Sheriffs dept. to do a civil stand by to assist me in getting my son and I was told to leave cause i had no proof that i was the father. The Non Custodial Parent and Her Attorney knew i was trying to claim and get my son because i gave them my info for court. I have had no legal notice of any sort at this point . I Filed an AOP and an Respondents answer stating I am the father and want to be notified for future hearings. In addition Filed PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS FOR RETURN OF CHILD & ATTACHMENT. and Got Denied. What do I do at this point? Do I File a new suit to affect Parent Child Relationship with different case number, or a counter petition on the existing? I have never held my son and hes about to 5 months already, I am single father of two beautiful children already , and self employed I cant afford an attorney that why I need help. I have researched and asked but no one helps. please help get my son. i cant give up

You need to hire a lawyer.

These folks have probably asked (in their pleadings) that your rights be terminated.

You need to ask for temporary orders.

You should pay a jury fee.
