in the Interest of D.W., T.W., and S.G., Children
Appellant Betty W. appealed a final order terminating her parental rights to her three children. She raised four issues: the constitutionality of a one-year dismissal deadline, the denial of her motion to extend that deadline, the constitutionality of a statute barring appellate review of unlisted issues (section 263.405(i)), and a due process violation. The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court's order, finding that Betty failed to preserve her first issue, and that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in denying her motion to extend the deadline. However, the court held that section 263.405(i) violated the Separation of Powers Clause of the Texas Constitution. Ultimately, the order terminating parental rights was affirmed as Betty did not provide a record for her second issue.
