In re N.C.M

9 Citing cases

  1. M.C. v. Dept. of Family

    300 S.W.3d 305 (Tex. App. 2009)   Cited 99 times
    Holding that mother did not regularly visit or maintain significant contact with child when she visited only six to eight times in twelve-month period

    Therefore, we conclude that M.C. has not established that Sections 263.405(b) and (i), by their terms, always has and always will operate unconstitutionally. See In re N.C.M., 271 S.W.3d 327, 329 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2008, no pet.); In re S.N., 292 S.W.3d 807, 810-11 (Tex.App.-Eastland 2009, no pet.) (not yet reported) (cases rejecting facial-unconstitutionality argument to Section 263.405). Consequently, we reject M.C.'s argument that Sections 263.405(b) and (i) are facially unconstitutional.

  2. Connor v. Deckinga

    ACTION NO. 4:10-CV-855-Y (N.D. Tex. Mar. 14, 2013)   Cited 2 times
    Holding that grandmother did not clearly establish constitutional right to custody of grandchildren

    To sustain an as-applied challenge to a statute, Connor must show that the statute is unconstitutional when specifically applied to her. See Tex. Workers' Comp. Comm'n v. Garcia, 893 S.W.2d 504, 518 n.16 (Tex. 1995); In re N.C.M., 271 S.W.3d 327, 328-29 (Tex. App.—San Antonio 2008, no pet.). Texas has granted grandparents standing to seek custody of their grandchildren, but such suits are governed by the best-interest-of-the-child standard applicable to other suits affecting the parent-child relationship.

  3. Hudson v. State

    366 S.W.3d 878 (Tex. App. 2012)   Cited 4 times

    In such a case, the challenger is required to demonstrate only that the statute operates unconstitutionally when applied to his or her particular circumstances. Id.;In re N.C.M., 271 S.W.3d 327, 328–29 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2008, no pet.).

  4. In re R.M.H.

    No. 04-11-00095-CV (Tex. App. Aug. 3, 2011)

    We have previously held this argument insufficient to show the facial unconstitutionality of section 263.405(i). See In re N.C.M., 271 S.W.3d 327, 328-29 (Tex. App.-San Antonio 2008, no pet.). We conclude appellants have not shown section 263.405(i) is unconstitutional, either on its face or as applied to them.

  5. In re A.M

    312 S.W.3d 76 (Tex. App. 2010)   Cited 18 times

    Id.; In re N.C.M., 271 S.W.3d 327, 328-29 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2008, no pet.). The Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution guards against deprivation of life, liberty, or property by the State without due process of law. U.S. CONST., amend. XIV. Similarly, Article I, Section 19 of the Texas Constitution requires due course of law. TEX. CONST., art. I, § 19; Perry v. Del Rio, 67 S.W.3d 85, 92 (Tex. 2001).

  6. In re D.J.R

    319 S.W.3d 759 (Tex. App. 2010)   Cited 14 times
    Refusing to consider whether statute was unconstitutional violation of separation-of-powers clause because appellant "wholly failed to show how he was harmed by its application to his case"

    An as-applied challenger is required only to demonstrate that the statute operates unconstitutionally when applied to his particular circumstances. In re N.C.M., 271 S.W.3d 327, 328-29 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2008, no pet.). D.R. has not identified any appellate issue he was prevented from pursuing because of the restrictions in Section 263.405. Nor has he alleged that he would have discovered more issues if more time had been allowed.

  7. In Interest of V.G.
