Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

Termination of parental rights

My daughter has not seen her biological father since she was 3 years old, she is now 12. Is it possible to have his rights terminated without his permission? We were never married but his name is on her birth certificate.

Maybe, but in general not without some serious work and there will need to be someone who wants to adopt her and take on his obligations. If this is something you want to pursue your next step should be an appointment with a good family law attorney who can review the details of the situation and give you a good idea of your options.
