Termination of Parental Rights in Texas
Termination of parental rights is a legal process by which the rights and responsibilities of a parent are legally ended. In Texas, the termination of parental rights can be voluntary or involuntary. Voluntary termination occurs when a parent chooses to relinquish their rights willingly, typically through adoption or in situations where it is deemed to be in the best interest of the child. On the other hand, involuntary termination happens when the court determines that it is necessary due to factors such as abuse, neglect, or abandonment.
