Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Found out that my ex-wifes husband is now in prison for cocaine charges and he will be spending 7 years in the pen. She has no job, has no inclination of getting a job, is collecting $600 a month in food stamps for my two children, her other child that is with this man, and herself. She has not paid a house payment in 4 months, one vehicle has been re-possessed, and she is on a waiting list for government assisted housing. We have joint custody of my two children but primary placement with her because I was in the military at the time being when we got our divorce. I am now out of the military working two jobs around the clock to make ends meet with child support and my living until I can get on with a fire Department in North Carolina. I have family here where I live (Mom, Dad, and twin brother), who are willing to help me out while I am on duty to watch and care for my children while I am away at work. My children live in Texas. I do not want my children growing up in an enviornment that is putting their health and safety into jepoardy. How do I go about getting my two children into primary placement with me? Who do I need to go through about this? I want my kids to live their fullest not in a slum of someone who is willing to bottom feed off of americas tax dollars because she has no gumption to get on her own two feet and make a living to support herself and kids. Please help me out with directing where I need to go for this? My ex wife does not know that I know her situation as I found this out just yesterday from her real mother.
