In this paper, we consider a one-parameter family $F_{\lambda }$ of continuous maps on $\mathbb{R}^{m}$ or $\mathbb{R}^{m}\times \mathbb{R}^{k}$ with the singular map $F_{0}$ having one of the forms (i) $F_{0}(x)=f(x),$ (ii) $F_{0}(x,y)=(f(x),g(x))$, where $g:\mathbb{R}^{m}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} ^{k}$ is continuous, and (iii) $F_{0}(x,y)=(f(x),g(x,y))$, where $g:\mathbb{R}^{m}\times \mathbb{R}^{k}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{k}$ is continuous and locally trapping along the second variable $y$. We show that if $f:\mathbb{R}^{m}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{m}$ is a $C^{1}$ diffeomorphism having a topologically crossing homoclinic point, then $F_{\lambda }$ has positive topological entropy for all $\lambda$ close enough to $0$.
