1Opinion of the Court

■KIDD, Justice.

Appellant Leticia Vargas appeals the trial court’s judgment involuntarily terminating her parent-child relationship with her two children pursuant to the Texas Family Code. See Tex. Fam.Code Ann. § 161.001 (West 1996). 1 In her ninth point of error, appellant argues that the trial court’s failure to prepare findings of fact and conclusions of law after a timely request constitutes reversible error. Because we conclude that this point of error is compelling and dispositive, we will reverse the judgment of the trial court and remand the cause for a new trial.
