Chambers v. Terrell
Texas Supreme Court
Decided July 14, 1982No. C-1179PublishedCited by 19 opinions
1Per curiam
This suit was brought for termination of parental rights and for the adoption of a child of the parents. Only the termination of parental rights is before us.
After signing an affidavit relinquishing possession, the mother, without delay, changed her mind; and she resisted termination. The trial court ordered termination.
The Court of Appeals reversed that judgment and dismissed the petition for termination. A reason assigned was that there was no evidence to support the finding of the trial court that termination was in the best interest of the child. 630 S.W.2d 800.
