Yes he can.

To change them, you would file a Petition to Modify the Parent-Child Relationship. Reducing a parents visitation rights can be tricky, so you should hire a local family law attorney to help you achieve your goals.

If you think there is an immediate risk of serious harm to your children if he takes them, you can ask the court for an emergency order denying or limiting the visit.

Good luck!!

In the Houston area I recommend PATRICIA BUSHMAN at 713-807-9405. Tell Pat that I sent you since I rent space in her office. (She takes payment plans!)

Good luck!
