There are two basic types of adoption in Texas.
The most common is the step-parent adoption, where a step-parent is being legally substituted for a biological parent.
The other type of adoption involves the replacement of both parents.
In either case, the parental rights and duties of the departing parent must be terminated by the court as a preliminary part of the adoption process.
For the unwed mother who does not know the identity or location of the biological father, or in the case of an absentee father who has chosen to abandon the mother during the pregnancy, the law provides mechanisms for termination of his parental rights in order to facilitate adoption as a solution to problem pregnancies.

The first rule of criminal defense is to know and use the rights guaranteed to the defendant by the Constitutions of Texas and the United States.
The police have a very difficult, and occasionally dangerous job to do in protecting the public from criminal conduct, and most are professionals answering a noble calling.
Like all human beings, however, the police are imperfect, and their mistakes can have tragic consequences for the defendant who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and is charged with an offense because of misunderstanding or mistake.

Estate planning starts with the last will and testament.
A common myth is that if I sign my will, I'll die.
The unfortunate reality is that we are all mortal, we will all die some day, and if we don't sign a will of our own choosing, the State of Texas has one for us, and we may not like what it does.
This is especially true where there are children of a prior marriage.
The probate process is usually much more complex and expensive if the decedent has not executed a will.
In most cases, the Estate must be probated within four years following the death of the decedent.
