In Texas -- you are required to either have dad terminate his rights or terminate them based on a certain set of criteria. If he isn't involved (and involved in subjective -- if he pays support, he is involved in the eyes of the law) -- then you can have his rights terminated based on abandonment. I suggest hiring an attorney to help you navigate the requirements. I only suggest Pro-Se when dad is willing to terminate and everyone is on the same page. Otherwise, there are just far to many legal hoops to jump through.
