Texas courts

My husband has been the sole managing conservator for his now 2 year old son since he was 4 months old. The mother has had supervised visits since 4 months old, first through cps, then through us.

They went to court last August and the judge gave her a year to be drug free, ordered her to take parenting classes withing 180 days of the court date, and to follow cps orders.

She has taken no parenting classes, takes her drug tests 3 to 5 weeks late and somehow passes them, dropped cps, in the past
Year and a half she had a TON of visits but has only seen him 32 times for 2 hours at the most. HShe likes to dissappear for months at a time. We have had her visits on Mondays for 2 hours since january, which she rarely shows. Then she said she only wanted an hour, so that's what she gets.

Judge said she can take him back to court this August ( highly unlikely seeing as how she never has any money, and is PREGNANT WITH CHILD NUMBER 4, the only child she will have custody of. She thinks she's going to get every other weekend and the 30 days in the summer. My husband is VERY against this. When she has her visits she shows zero parenting skills. Plus my stepson has no idea who she is, or her new baby daddy whom she lives with.

Plus he's only turning 2 in september. I'm pretty sure Texas still follows the render age doctrine.

What kind of plan should we draw up in the chance that she does take him to court anytime soon?

Please tell me you are documenting this. Take it a step further and pay a private investigator to check her out. Before you go to If she, have as much ammo against her as possible. If she is not doing what the CO reads now, why will she in the future? You have to prove that added time will not benefit your SS.

She has been taking hair follicles, but she takes them 5 to 7 weeks late. We do not know where she lives. She refuses to tell us. We do not need an investigator, our friends see her our at bars and everywhere else. We're just in between. Sometimes she seems to be doing better, but then she starts her crap again. And yes I document EVERYTHING
