Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am trying to help a young mother get her child back from the dad, as there is no order in place for custody, but the dad actually fooled the mother into bringing her over for Thanksgiving and then refused to give her back He has relatives in sheriff Dept, CPS, PD and a constable. All entities are not allowing her to get the child, telling her she abandoned the baby. The child has a heart murmer and is not being taken to doctor appointments.It is a drug infested environment and there is documentation to prove it. Do these people have any authority to do this?? How can we get the baby back? Thank you

No custody order is in place? File an application for writ of habeas corpus TODAY. You'll need a lawyer to do this.
