in the Interest of K.D., a Minor Child

Opinion

Court of Appeals Sixth Appellate District of Texas

JUDGMENT

In the Interest of K.D., a Minor Child Appeal from the 307th District Court of Gregg County, Texas (Tr. Ct. No. 2014-70- No. 06-15-00012-CV DR). Opinion delivered by Justice Burgess, Chief Justice Morriss and Justice Moseley participating.

As stated in the Court’s opinion of this date, we find there was partial error in the judgment of the court below. We affirm that part of the trial court’s judgment finding that Mother’s Affidavit of Relinquishment is valid and enforceable as between the parties. We reverse that portion of the trial court’s judgment finding that termination of Mother’s parental rights is in K.D.’s best interest and remand the case to the trial court for a new trial on whether termination is in K.D.’s best interest. We note that the appellant has adequately indicated her inability to pay costs of appeal. Therefore, we waive payment of costs. We further note that the payment of costs is waived pursuant to Section 40.062 of the Texas Human Resources Code. See TEX. HUM. RES. CODE ANN. § 40.062 (West 2013).
