Description
Based on the jurys verdict, the trial court entered a judgment terminating the parental rights of Katrina Palmo (Mother) and Charles Anthony Gray (Father) to their five minor children, S.P., S.G., M.G., S.P., and M.G. Mother and Father appeal. As set forth herein, we conclude that the Texas Family Code requirement that appellants file a statement of points on appeal within fifteen days of the final order is not jurisdictional, and thus any failure to include issues in that filing does not waive them on appeal. See Tex. Fam. Code Ann. § 263.405(b) (Vernon 2002). We further conclude that the evidence is legally sufficient to show Mother engaged in a course of conduct which had the effect of endangering M.G.s physical or emotional well-being. We also conclude that the return of a favorable home study for an out-of-state relative does not require temporary placement with that relative, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying Fathers motion for temporary placement.
