Opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
JUDGMENT RENDERED OCTOBER 15, 2020
NO. 03-20-00274-CV
L. R. J. M., Appellant
v.
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellee
APPEAL FROM THE 207TH DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY BEFORE CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE, JUSTICES BAKER AND KELY REFORMED AND, AS REFORMED, AFFIRMED -- OPINION BY CHIEF JUSTICE ROSE
This is an appeal from the order of termination signed by the trial court on April 6, 2020.
Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the Court holds that there was no error in
the trial court’s order requiring reversal. However, there was error in the order that requires
correction. Therefore, the Court reforms the trial court’s order. Because at trial the Texas
Department of Family and Protective Services limited its request for termination to Tex. Fam.
Code § 161.001(b)(1)(N) and (O), we reform the trial court’s order of termination to delete its
findings of statutory grounds under paragraphs (D) and (E). The order, as reformed, is affirmed.
Because appellant is indigent and unable to pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.
