This is an appeal from a judgment terminating appellants' parental rights to their minor children.

Hi,

I need the name of a good Texas lawyer. I am in Washington state and have a case against the state so I cannot get any normal help here. I was served with termination papers after being blocked out of services and even having the state interfere with my unemployment claim with the state which has been pending over 7 months.
