Job Title: Texas Family Law / Civil Rights Attorney – Parental Rights & Due Process Case

Location: Remote or based in Texas (must be willing to represent in Kaufman County and beyond). Seeking attorney outside Kaufman County due to local conflict concerns.

Description: I am Travis L. Pugh, a father of three (including a current U.S. Army servicemember), seeking experienced legal representation for a complex and urgent case involving:

  • Restoration of parental rights
  • Obstruction of due process
  • Civil rights violations under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

After eight years of being blocked from my children by the family court system in Kaufman County, Texas, I am facing unconstitutional treatment, including:

  • Arrests without warrants
  • Involuntary mental health detentions despite hospital clearance
  • Witnesses being blocked from testifying (including under subpoena)
  • Court delays strategically scheduled to void jurisdiction by allowing my daughter to turn 18 before hearing

Key Responsibilities:

  • Advocate for enforcement and restoration of my parental rights under Texas Family Code
  • File appropriate motions or appeals to challenge unconstitutional actions by the court
  • Prepare and possibly initiate a civil rights action under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for due process violations
  • Provide strategic legal counsel regarding judicial misconduct, court bias, and abuse of discretion
  • Collaborate on compiling evidence (transcripts, court documents, subpoena records, recordings)

Requirements:

  • Licensed to practice law in Texas
  • Experience in family law litigation AND/OR civil rights litigation
  • Strong understanding of due process, constitutional rights, and family code § 153.009
  • Willingness to represent a pro se parent as co-counsel or fully assume representation
  • Must not be connected to Kaufman County courts or firms with local conflicts

Preferred Traits:

  • Passion for parental rights, justice reform, and child welfare
  • Independent, assertive, and principled — not afraid to challenge local power structures
  • Experience with § 1983 lawsuits or judicial accountability work is a major plus

Compensation: To be discussed; open to flat fee, hourly, or contingency/partial contingency for civil rights actions. Limited financial assistance due to personal toll.

How to Apply: Please contact me directly with your credentials, case experience, and interest:

  • Name: Travis L. Pugh
  • Phone: (469) 984-7230
