in the Interest of K.D., a Minor Child ( 2015 )

Court of Appeals
Sixth Appellate District of Texas
JUDGMENT
In the Interest of K.D., a Minor Child Appeal from the 307th District Court of
Gregg County, Texas (Tr. Ct. No. 2014-70-
No. 06-15-00012-CV DR). Opinion delivered by Justice Burgess,
Chief Justice Morriss and Justice Moseley
participating.
As stated in the Court’s opinion of this date, we find there was partial error in the judgment
of the court below. We affirm that part of the trial court’s judgment finding that Mother’s Affidavit
of Relinquishment is valid and enforceable as between the parties. We reverse that portion of the
trial court’s judgment finding that termination of Mother’s parental rights is in K.D.’s best interest
and remand the case to the trial court for a new trial on whether termination is in K.D.’s best
interest.
We note that the appellant has adequately indicated her inability to pay costs of appeal.
Therefore, we waive payment of costs.
We further note that the payment of costs is waived pursuant to Section 40.062 of the Texas
Human Resources Code. See TEX. HUM. RES. CODE ANN. § 40.062 (West 2013).
