Re: Flight with daughter
Yes - you have options. Your alternatives are difficult to achieve on your own, without an attorney. You can immediately file a petition for contempt with the Texas court that has jurisdiction, and the court will require that he return with the child to answer the charges against him. Eventually, depending upon the testimony and evidence, if the 14 year old wants to live with him, he may get custody.
You should act immediately.
