in the Matter of S.B.

In the
Court of Appeals
Second Appellate District of Texas
at Fort Worth
No. 02-19-00048-CV
IN THE MATTER OF S.B. § On Appeal from the County Court
§ of Young County (J00765)
§ July 25, 2019
§ Opinion by Chief Justice Sudderth
JUDGMENT
This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there
was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. It is ordered that the judgment of the
trial court is affirmed in part and reversed and dismissed in part. Having sustained
S.B.’s subissue 1(c) with regard to the allegations relating to J.Z. in the First Amended
State’s Adjudication Petition, and thus having not reached the portion of S.B.’s
subissue 1(d) pertaining to that paragraph, we reverse the juvenile court’s transfer
order as to section II, paragraph 3, of the First Amended State’s Adjudication
Petition. We order that section II, paragraph 3 is dismissed. See Moore I, 446 S.W.3d
at 50, 52. Having sustained the legal sufficiency portion of S.B.’s subissue 1(d) with
regard to the allegations relating to L.V. in the First Amended State’s Adjudication
Petition, we order that section II, paragraph 1 is also dismissed. See id. As to the
allegations related to J.M., we affirm the juvenile court’s order waiving its jurisdiction
and transferring the case to a criminal district court for criminal proceedings. See Tex.
Fam. Code Ann. § 54.02(j).
It is further ordered that all parties shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for
which let execution issue.
