Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Parental Rights with mental background

Have a ex who wants to take my rights away. She seems to think that seeing that I spent a week in a mental hospital for major depression that she can get my rights taken away from me. She also thinks that seeing that I can't and have only came to see him once in the past year that she can take them a way. Well, I guess the question I am asking is she going to be able to take my rights away for them reasons.
