OPINION
Opinion by
Justice O’NEILL.
This case involves the termination of a mother’s parental rights. JHG’s mother raises three issues: (1) the evidence is legally insufficient to support termination; (2) the evidence is factually insufficient to support termination; and (3) the trial court erred when it denied the mother’s motion to dismiss after the trial court retained the ease after the one-year anniversary. We conclude there was error in retaining the case once the one-year deadline had passed and, therefore, reverse the decree of termination and dismiss the suit.
