Yes, but that does not relinquish the obligation to pay child support. All it does is relinquish your right to see your child and have any type of decision making power in their lives. If the child is placed for adoption or your ex marries and their spouse adopts you child, your support obligation will end.
A father in Texas can legally give up his rights to the child, but he has to go through the court system to do so. The court will want to avoid having one parent abandon the child if at all possible, and may bring both the father and mother into court for a hearing to determine what is best for the child in this case.
I know of a close friend who has given up his parental rights in the state of Texas.

NO, giving up parental rights doesnt absolve one from financial responsibilty of a child you bore, unless the other person agrees.
He will have to pay support until/unless the child is adopted.
Terminating one's parental rights does not terminate one's parental responsibilities.
Sure. See a lawyer.
Only if the mother allows it.
My child is 13 and lives in Texas and he wants to live with his father. Can he do this legally?
Your husband has no rights over the child because he did not help in the creation of the child, but he can legally adopt her.
Who legally adopted the child?If the mother's new husband legally adopted the child, then the biological father's parental rights had to be terminated first. Which means that the biological father is NOT obligated to pay child support anymore. The new adoptive father has taken on all rights and responsibilities for the child.
She can terminate her parental rights, not yours.
Generally, no.
no
It ends if and when the child is adopted.
That is a decision made by the court. A court can grant a partial or complete Termination of Parental Rights if the judge feels it is warranted for reasons other than said parent is relieved of his or her financial obligation to their minor child/children. Generally voluntary TPR's (those requested by a parent) are only granted when a child is being legally adopted.
The rights of the natural father depends on if the father has given up his rights or not. If he has not given up his rights, he has the same rights as the mother, or as outlines in the custody order.
No. The father does not legally have any rights until the child is born.
He essentially give up everything. The child is no longer his legally. He has no responsibilities toward the child and has no visitation rights.
Yes. An unmarried mother has sole custody of her child until the father establishes his paternity legally and then petitions for custodial rights. Once the father has established his parental rights legally, the mother cannot move to another state without his consent and/or the court's permission since the move would mean the father's visitation rights would be affected.Yes.
