In Texas, you do not have to terminate parental rights to obtain guardianship. You will, however, have to go through the court to have guardianship established.
You may qualify to be represented by a local pro-bono organization. Check with your local bar association - looks like you're in Collin County (http://www.collincountybar.com). I note that the website for the Collin County Bar Association has a link to the local legal aid chapter. That may be a good starting point.
