Facing the seriousness of a parental rights termination case in Kingwood, TX? Whether you’re working to safeguard a child’s well-being or defending your own parental rights, the Law Office of Bryan Fagan offers trusted, empathetic legal guidance through these emotionally charged proceedings.
What Does Termination of Parental Rights Mean?
Termination permanently severs a parent’s legal rights in Texas—including custody, visitation, and decision-making authority—and irrevocably ends the legal parent–child relationship. It can be:
- Voluntary: A parent consenting to relinquish rights, often during adoption.
- Involuntary: A court order based on evidence such as abuse, neglect, abandonment, or other serious concerns.
In Texas—and particularly in Kingwood—courts apply a high legal standard, requiring clear and convincing proof that termination aligns with the best interest of the child.

Legal Grounds for Involuntary Termination
Under the Texas Family Code, courts may terminate parental rights if there is compelling evidence showing, among other reasons:
- Physical or emotional endangerment
- Abandonment or failure to support
- Abuse or neglect
- Criminal activity or incarceration
- Substance abuse
- Non-compliance with previous CPS orders
These proceedings often involve Child Protective Services (CPS) or private petitions and carry lifelong consequences for everyone involved.
