It's not likely that you will be able to get custody of your nephew because the father has the advantage of the parental presumption. In Texas, the parental presumption presumes that a parent will make decisions that are in the best interest of the child. A better course of action may be to work with the father to help the child handle things better. Also, the child may be able to ask the dad to allow him to stay at your house more. How old was your nephew when your sister passed away?
