Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

JUDGMENT RENDERED JUNE 7, 2023

NO. 03-22-00705-CV

N. N. and Texas Department of Family and Protective Services, Appellants

v.

C. P. and J. N., Appellees

APPEAL FROM THE 353RD DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY BEFORE JUSTICES BAKER, SMITH, AND JONES REVERSED AND REMANDED IN PART -- OPINION BY JUSTICE JONES

This is an appeal from the Order in Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship, signed by the

trial court on October 21, 2022. Having reviewed the record and the parties’ arguments, the

Court holds that there was reversible error in the Order. Therefore, the Court reverses the trial

court’s Order in Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship in part, and remands the case to the

trial court for a new trial solely on the issue of best interest as to both C.P. and J.N. Because

C.P. and J.N. are indigent and unable to pay costs, no adjudication of costs is made.
