The Family Freedom Project (FFP) has achieved significant legal victories in Texas concerning parental rights. In the first case, the Texas Supreme Court restricted Child Protective Services' (CPS) power to terminate parental rights over minor bureaucratic issues, requiring clear evidence of noncompliance with essential court-ordered tasks instead. In the second case, the court upheld a Court of Appeals decision that judges cannot interfere with parental rights unless necessary to protect a child from significant harm, a stance the FFP consistently advocates, though the Supreme Court has yet to issue a definitive statewide ruling on this standard.

This stance contrasts with other lawmakers who actively defended the family.

Governor Abbott is determined to pass the bill, even calling for additional sessions, but the final outcome remains uncertain as differences between the House and Senate versions need reconciliation in a conference committee.Support the show
