One of the big law firms in Houston ought to be willing to represent the
parents on the CPS beef for free "pro bono publico".  All the big firms on
the West Coast have formal programs for handlig some matters for no charge -
its good public relations and gets the young lawyers needed courtroom time
where the client isn't in a position to demand that a partner make the court
appearances.  In California, it is unethical for an attorney to refuse to
handle a matter just because the client can't pay. (Ha ! This is one of those
rules that gets honored in the breach)
CPS is a juggernaut, and the legal battle should not be underestimated -
probably the worst thing for the child would be to place her in CPS custody.
If the parents are too overwhelmed to handle this and push comes to shove,
send me e-mail outside theis forum ( to doslives@aol.com - put "CPS
EMERGENCY" in the re: line so I read it first) and I'll give you my phone #,
then after getting the info, I'll try to work the old boy network - I'm
certain that some of my classmates from StanLaw are practicing in that area,
with their brains relatively intact.  They are a good bunch, most went into
law to help people and then found out what its really like too late to jump
ship.
Good luck.
