In The Court of Appeals Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-19-01122-CV

IN THE INTEREST OF M.D., A CHILD

On Appeal from the 196th Judicial District Court Hunt County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. 86664

ORDER We REINSTATE this appeal.

Pursuant to this Court’s January 15, 2020 order, the trial court held a hearing to

determine whether the child is an Indian child under the Indian Child Welfare Act. See 25

U.S.C.A. § 1912(a). On January 31, 2020, we received a supplemental clerk’s record containing

the statutory notice requirements of the Act and a supplemental reporter’s record of the hearing

in which the trial court made an oral finding that the child is not an Indian child pursuant to the

ICWA.

We ORDER the trial court to make and file written findings from the January 24, 2020

hearing regarding the child’s Indian status within FIVE days of this order.
