Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I had a child with somone 9 yrs ago. He was there when I took pregnancy test and left for ny shortly after. I had even contacted him after I had the child and told him his name and that I had givin him up for adoption. I recently contacted him and he seems to not have a clue about the child. Would he be able to get custody of the child if I tell him even though he never bothered contacting me ever.
