IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-12-00188-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF E.C. AND E.C., CHILDREN,
From the 85th District Court
Brazos County, Texas
Trial Court No. 10-001781-85
MEMORANDUM OPINION
The trial court’s termination order in this case ordered that the parent-child
relationship between the father, O.C., and his children, E.C. and E.C., was terminated
and that the mother’s husband, Gabriel Ramirez-Martinez, was appointed permanent
managing conservator of E.C. and E.C. O.C. appealed from this order. Mr. Ramirez-
Martinez did not appeal. Nor did E.C.’s and E.C.’s mother, whose parental rights were
not terminated.
Appellant O.C. and Appellee Texas Department of Family and Protective
Services have now filed a joint motion informing the Court that they have entered into
an agreement to resolve this appeal. The attorney ad litem for E.C. and E.C. approved
the agreement and motion, and neither Mr. Ramirez-Martinez nor E.C.’s and E.C.’s
mother oppose the agreement.
Based on the agreement, the parties request that this Court reverse that portion
of the trial court’s termination order terminating O.C.’s parental rights to E.C. and E.C.
and affirm the remaining portion of the trial court’s termination order appointing Mr.
Ramirez-Martinez as permanent managing conservator of E.C. and E.C. See TEX. R APP.
P. 42.1(a)(2)(A). Accordingly, we reverse that portion of the trial court’s termination
order terminating O.C.’s parental rights to E.C. and E.C., we affirm the remaining
portion of the trial court’s termination order, and we remand this case to the trial court
for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
