Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Most courts will first require that you are married to the child's mother. After that, then address whether or not biological's dad's rights can be terminated. He may agree to it. A termination of parental rights can be filed simultaneously with a stepparent adoption. It is a complicated procedure, but an experienced family attorney should be able to handle the process smoothly, if the bio dad is in agreement. If he is not, it *might* be possible to terminate his rights anyway, depending on his history. Good luck.
