How does a father go about getting parental rights to visitation in Texas?

∙ 11y ago
If the father was not married to the biological mother at the time the child was born paternity must be established before the court will hear any petition (lawsuit) concerning custodial rights and/or visitation. Most courts will accept a birth certificate naming the father or affidavit of such by the biological mother and father jointly. If such methods are not available or acceptable to the court of jurisdiction a paternity test is needed, preferably DNA testing as opposed to a blood test.
The proof of paternity can be submitted as evidence at the time the lawsuit for custodial and/or visitation rights is filed.

∙ 11y agoIf it can be proven that the father is a drug abuser, that would not bode favorably for him. However an accusation is just that. It does not constitute proof. It would have to be proven and the judge would then decide whether or not joint custody under those circumstances would be in the best interests of the child.
