On Dec. 15, the Texas Supreme Court delivered an opinion in In the Interest of R.J.G. which many should take notice of—including Child Protective Services (CPS) caseworkers, child welfare attorneys, parents who find themselves threatened with termination of their parental rights, and judges charged with the difficult task of parsing whether or not children deserve an on-going relationship with their parent. The court focused, in part, on the mandate that the state must prove that "governmental intrusion is warranted." The bar is set high when a potential means of resolution is termination of parental rights. Those who operate in this arena would be well served to review this unpublished opinion, as well as the predicate grounds for termination set out in Texas Family Code Section 161.001(b)(1).
