Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My daughter has been with her boyfriend for three years, they have a 16 month old son. The boyfriend is the father and his name is on the birthcertificate. He is from Califronia and she is from Houston where they both live together. He has lived in Houston for the past 4 years. At the moment they are not in good terms, he has threatend to take the baby to California with him. Are there any legal documents that can be filled to keep him from taking the baby to California? The baby was born in Houston Texas. They have lived together for 2 1/2 years now.

She should hire a lawyer to get legal custody of the child (but that is only if they are not together. It is kind of like a divorce minus the marriage.) Otherwise, he has as much right to take the baby where he wants as she does.
