Texas Supreme Court Orders 7/25/08
With yesterday's regular Friday orders, the Texas Supreme Court denied the petitions for review in five family law cases with the following notation:
The petition for review is denied. In denying the petition, we neither approve nor disapprove the holding of the court of appeals regarding the constitutionality of Texas Family Code section 263.405(i).
This statute requires potential appellants whose parental rights have been terminated for child abuse or neglect to file a statement of grounds for appeal within 15 days after the trial court signs the termination order. Jeff Rambin at Tyler Appeals has followed the issue and discusses its significance in this thoughtful post.
