Senate Bill 77 amends the Family Code to authorize a court to order termination of the parent-child relationship if the court finds that the parent has been convicted of, or has been placed on community supervision for being criminally responsible for, the sexual assault or aggravated sexual assault of the child's other parent. The bill authorizes a court to order each person who is financially able and whose parental rights have been terminated with respect to a child for such a reason to support the child in the manner specified by the order.
