Pro bono lawyer for emergency child custody case?

You might want to google" legal aid groups Texas for a list of organizations to assist. If you have the opportunity to speak with an attorney, the attorney will want to know reasons you have to modify the existing order which gives your daughter's father primary care of her in addition to the recent criminal charges.

I would imagine Child Protective Services (CPS) is involved, and they are already taking steps to remove the child. If not hey should be notified. I would get a hold of the CPS case worker and coordinate my efforts with him or her. CPS might also put you in contact with a legal aid organization. I hope this helps.

I suggest calling the local bar association In San Antonio for possible referral to a pro bono service. Additionally, if you have not already done so, I suggest calling CPS in San Antonio to report your concerns.

Hire an attorney asap or try the St. Mary's Family Law Clinic at the law school here in San Antonio. They may be able to help you at low to no cost or refer you to someone who can take your case pro bono.

Consider filing a report with CPS, who may place her with you if they remove her from your husband's custody. Texas also offers self-help family law forms if you'd like to go it alone. I know it's not what you want to hear, but ultimately, you are going to need a lawyer to resolve this, unless your husband is arrested. Even then, your custody might only be temporary until he bonds out. I've attached a link to a number of pro bono family law services.
