IN THE INTEREST OF C.W., ET AL CHILDREN
From the 407th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2016PA02259
Honorable Charles E. Montemayor, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Beth Watkins, Justice Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
On October 18, 2019, the Texas Supreme Court issued an opinion, affirming in part and reversing in part our judgment, and remanding the case to us for further proceedings. See In re C.W., No. 18-1034, 2019 WL 5280809 (Tex. Oct. 18, 2019). The supreme court emphasized it had recently held in In re N.G., 577 S.W.3d 230 (Tex. 2019), that even where sufficient evidence is found in the record to uphold a termination judgment on one termination ground, due process requires an appellate court to review a parent's challenge on appeal to termination of parental rights under section 161.001(b)(1)(D) or (E) of the Texas Family Code. In re C.W., 2019 WL 5280809, at *2. The supreme court explained that a finding under section 161.001(b)(1)(D) or (E) can affect a parent's rights to other children under section 161.001(b)(1)(M). In re C.W., 2019 WL 5280809, at *2. Because our opinion had not addressed appellant's challenge to the section 161.001(b)(1)(D) ground, the supreme court reversed our judgment in part and remanded the case to us for further proceedings consistent with its opinion. See In re C.W., 2019 WL 5280809, at *2. On November 27, 2019, the supreme court issued its mandate. Thus, this case is now returned to us for further review.
If appellant desires to file a supplemental brief, she must do so before January 6, 2020. If appellant files a supplemental brief, appellee will have twenty days after such filing to files its own supplemental brief. If appellant does not file a supplemental brief, appellee must file any supplemental brief on or before forty days from the date of this order.
It is so ORDERED on December 17, 2019.
