In the Interest of J.L.

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the notice of accelerated appeal in this parental-rights termination case was timely because the trial court had modified and corrected the final judgment, restarting the appellate timetable. The Court also held that the court of appeals improperly took judicial notice of expert testimony from a separate criminal proceeding. It reversed the court of appeals' judgment and remanded for review of the factual sufficiency of the evidence supporting termination.
