Pleadings requirement in termination appeals.

In the Interest of TB and JW (Published): This short opinion was most likely published as a word to the wise: If you are appealing the termination of parental rights by the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS), you’ve got to file a Tex. Fam. Code § 263.405(b) statement of points on which you intend to appeal. The pro se appellant here did not file that statement, so his appeal was dismissed, and the termination of his parental rights affirmed.
