Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

The first thing you need to do is contact the district attorney's office in your county and ask them to help you obtain a protective order against the child's father.

If he's threatening your life to try to coerce you into giving up your child then he's probably not going to want to take advantage of any visitation permitted by the court.
