It appears that you live in Harris County. The family judges in Harris County won't terminate a person's rights easily.
If there is a step-parent that wants to adopt the child the judges would be more willing to entertain terminating the father's parental rights.
By the way, being only $7,500 behind in child support is not much. I've seen people as much as $150,000 behind in child support.
You need to meet with a family law attorney & discuss your situation.
Look on this website & on www.avvo.com.
Good luck!
