Supreme Court of Texas
IN THE INTEREST OF J. F. C., A. B. C., & M. B. C., 01-0571
Although the trial court's charge was erroneously omitted the children's best interest as a prerequisite for termination of parental rights, Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 279 requires the supplying of the omitted finding, and application of that rule did not violate due process.
