Legal Question in Family Law in Texas
My younger sister and her boyfriend are expecting a baby they have both discussed and agreed that they are not ready and asked me to take the baby can I just have them sign a guardianship form and take the baby home from the hospital??

You don't want guardianship -- you want to be the child's conservator. Guardianship is probate and conservatorship is family.
The parents can sign a form that gives you the right to take the child to the doctor, etc.
But I suspect that you want a court to grant you legal custody. If so, you will need an attorney to do the paperwork and to either have the parents sign waivers or they will need to be served.
I cannot tell what county you live in. If it's close to Houston Texas, call Patricia Bushman at 713-807-9405. She can help you. I rent space in her office. She will travel to counties outside of the Houston area.
I also suggest that you look on this website and on www.avvo.com for an attorney.
