Family, Parenting, and Child Welfare
Supporting families and individuals through domestic legal matters, such as custody, visitation rights, child support, child safety, and name changes.

Family Helpline
Speak with an experienced child welfare attorney about Child Protective Services (CPS) issues in Texas. We provide callers with reliable legal information and education — over the phone and in an anonymous setting. Anyone may call the Family Helpline, not just the parents of children involved with Child Protective Services. We frequently speak with extended relatives, family friends, and other concerned community members.
ELIGIBILITY
There are no eligibility requirements — we accept all callers with questions about Texas Child Protective Services.
