Question

I live in texas and my really good friend has custody of his kids-full custody-his ex had the kids for the weekend and she is refusing to bring his daughter back. can he call the police and will they have the right to take his daughter and lock her up

Answer

He can call the police and ask them for help. They have a legal right to help him, but some police departments simply won't get involved, and there's nothing you can do about that.

His civil remedy is an application for writ of habeas corpus.
