Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
I live in Texas. I have a step-son who was taken into CPS care because of his mother's actions. The CPS people have placed him in my care. Do I have any legal rights to secure custody of him? He has been in my care for the last 3 months and is happy & adjusted. He is 4 years old and CPS seems to be all about reuniting him with his mother, than his genuine well-being and care. I just don't know how to save him from being returned and exposed to her wreckless lifestyle. His biological father has never been involved in his life and does not want him. I worry everyday for my step-son and his possible return.

Hire a private attorney to represent you immediately. The longer you have the child in your home the stronger the case that he should remain in your home.
Look on this website & on www.avvo.com for a strong, tough family law attorney.
I recommend Patricia Bushman at 713-807-9405. I rent space in her office. Her first appointment is free. Her prices are reasonable. I assume that you are in Harris county based on your zip code.
I know I a lot of Harris County attorneys since I only mediate these days but you probably need someone that is reasonably priced.
Good luck. Thanks for taking this child into your home & into your heart.
