40 Tex. Admin. Code § 700.1104 - Affidavit of Relinquishment of Parental Rights
(a) The Texas Department of Protective and
Regulatory Services (PRS) accepts conservatorship through an affidavit of
relinquishment of parental rights only when the parents:
(1) want to give up parental rights
permanently;
(2) designate PRS as
the managing conservator; and
(3)
consent to PRS placing the child for adoption.
(b) Before PRS accepts conservatorship
through an affidavit of relinquishment, the worker must inform the parents
that, after accepting the affidavit, PRS will no longer work with them to
return the child to the home.
(c)
Upon accepting an affidavit of relinquishment, PRS must inform the parents of
the rights they retain under the Texas Family Code, Chapters 151, 161, and 153,
pending the court's designation of PRS as the child's managing conservator.
Until the court acts, PRS must allow the parents to exercise these rights if
they ask to do so.
