In The
Court of Appeals
Seventh District of Texas at Amarillo
No. 07-13-00396-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF L.L., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 108th District Court
Potter County, Texas
Trial Court No. 82,798-E, Honorable Douglas Woodburn, Presiding
January 27, 2014
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before QUINN, C.J., and CAMPBELL and HANCOCK, JJ.
Pending before the court is the joint motion of appellant, A.L., and appellee, the
Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (Department). Therein, the parties
request that the trial court's judgment be reversed to the extent that it terminates the
parental relationship between A.L. and his child L.L. The request is made because the
Department concedes that it summarily terminated A.L.'s parental rights via an
inapplicable statutory procedure and that A.L. has the right to require the Department
to prove formal grounds warranting termination.
Because of the Department's concession, we reverse that portion of the trial
court’s judgment terminating A.L.'s parental relationship with L.L. In all other things, the
judgment is affirmed. The cause is remanded to the trial court.
