No. 02-19-00235-CV
IN THE INTEREST OF Y.J., A CHILD § On Appeal from the 323rd District
Court
§ of Tarrant County (323-107644-18)
§ December 19, 2019
§ Opinion by Justice Birdwell
JUDGMENT
This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that the
trial court reversibly erred in the part of its order awarding joint managing
conservatorship. We reverse the part of the trial court’s order appointing joint
managing conservators, and we remand the case to the trial court for a new trial on
the conservatorship and adoption issues, as set forth in this court’s memorandum
opinion. The trial court must commence a new trial no later than 180 days after the
date this court issues the mandate in this appeal. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann.
§ 263.401(b-1).
It is further ordered that each party shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for
which let execution issue.
