CPS Lawyers in Texas

Whenever the CPS takes action against a parent, there will be several hearings, all of which are very important to attend. Hearings are legal procedures, so it is smart to have an attorney on your side. Not showing up to a hearing can reflect badly on you and express a lack of interest to the judge on your part. In hearings, you can present your side of the case and argue why you believe you should keep your child.

What happens when the CPS takes away your children?

If CPS declares a child's current living situation as harmful to their interests, whether due to abuse, domestic violence, neglect, or endangerment, they have the right to place the child in temporary custody of the agency. Under state law, when a child is removed from their home environment, a judge may decide to put them in the care of a relative or foster care.

If the judge denies your claim to keep custody of your children, you will lose your parental rights. Your children will be placed for adoption.
