How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• stating that evidence of single use of marijuana does not rise to conscious course of conduct
• rejecting Department's argument that father \did not suggest that he could do anything to provide the children with a safe environment\ because burden of proof was on Department to prove inability, not on father to prove ability
• finding evidence legally insufficient to support an endangerment finding and noting the father “was given probation . . . not imprisonment” and “there was no conviction at the time of the termination hearing, and thus, the length of imprisonment, if any, was speculative”
• evidence insufficient when child removed at birth and Department offered no evidence of actual surroundings or conditions
• “[I]ncarcerated parent[s] can provide [a] safe environment . . . through identification of [a] friend, relative, or spouse as [a] care provider”
• “Generally, implementation of a family service plan by [DFPS] is considered a reasonable effort to return a child to the parent.”
