No, she can't "take away your kids." Whenever she makes these threats (let's say it's on the phone), you should say, "I don't permit people to threaten me over the phone," and hang up. Do this every time.

Read section 102.003 of the Texas Family Code (and suggest to her that SHE read it too) - it has to do with STANDING:
