J. S. v. Texas Department of Family and Protective Services
Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
JUDGMENT RENDERED MAY 14, 2025
NO. 03-24-00751-CV
J. S., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
APPEAL FROM THE 428TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY BEFORE JUSTICES KELLY, CRUMP, AND ELLIS MODIFIED AND, AS MODIFIED, AFFIRMED -- OPINION BY JUSTICE CRUMP DISSENTING OPINION BY JUSTICE ELLIS
This is an appeal from the order terminating parental rights signed by the trial court on
October 28, 2024. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds
that there was no reversible error in the order, but that there was error requiring correction.
Therefore, the Court modifies the order to reflect that appellant’s parental rights were terminated
on Ground (N) and not on Ground (G) of Texas Family Code section 161.001(b)(1), and as
modified, affirms the trial court’s termination order. Because appellant is indigent and unable to
pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.
