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.
