Texas Supreme Court
In the Matter of J.P., a Juvenile
May 14, 200447 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 579
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals, holding that Texas Family Code provisions requiring written findings of best interests, reasonable efforts, and quality of in‑home care apply only to original disposition orders, not to modification orders committing a juvenile to the Texas Youth Commission. Accordingly, the trial court did not abuse its discretion in modifying J.P.'s disposition.
