Re: parents rights
The parole officer is under no obligation to assist you in locating your child without a subpoena. You might want to think about filing for divorce to get custody of the child. This might bring her home.

The other attorney is right.
You might want to visit the Houston Bar Association's website to read a free booklet on Family Law. It's over 40 pages so you might not want to print it.
You can also to to the website for the Office of the Texas Attorney General and learn more about parental righs and duties.
