The Texas Department of Child Protective Services has a website with very good information. This includes a guide for someone in your situation with explanations of the various procedures to follow: http://www.dfps.state.tx.us/child_protection/About_Child_Protective_Services/parentguide.asp.
There is also a link to a handbook by the Texas Bar Association: http://www.texasbar.com/Template.cfm?Section=Committees_List1&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=8500.
