Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

What are the odds?

My fiancee has a 9 month old child. The father, has never been involved in her life. Nor, has he paid a dime of child support. Her and I are both in the military. I'm out of the country now, and she will be very soon. The father decided to take this opportunity to contest custody, even though he's never been in the picture. In the state of Texas, what are his chances of him getting any type of custody?
