§ 161.2062. PROVISION FOR LIMITED CONTACT BETWEEN 
BIOLOGICAL PARENT AND CHILD.  (a) An order terminating the

adoption order include terms regarding limited post-termination 
contact between the child and a biological parent.
	(b)  The inclusion of a requirement for post-termination 
contact described by Subsection (a) in a termination order does 
not:
		(1)  affect the finality of a termination or subsequent 
adoption order;  or 
		(2)  grant standing to a parent whose parental rights 
have been terminated to file any action under this title after the 
court renders a subsequent adoption order with respect to the 
child.
