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.
